REFACE. 



But few can realize the task involved in the publicatiou of a work of this kind. 
We have to contend against ignorance, prejudice and selfishness. Ignorance of some peo- 
ple as to our objects, many refusing to give their names, for fear thej- will be used for some 
swindling purpose ; or their politics, lest it be used to their discredit; or how much property 
thej' own, fearing it is to increase their taxes. Prejudice of people who have subscribed 
through agents for publications, and not having received what thej- exisectod, have forever 
thereafter sworn warfare against all agents, without discriminating, or taking into consid- 
eration the absolute necessity of emplojnug men under certain circumstances as the media 
between publisher and people. Selfishness by citizens who expect to have published, gratu- 
itously, every thing they see fit to send us, which usually is of a personal nature, or not 
relevant matter, and if published would be of no general interest, therefore we deem best to 
.suppress it, thereby receiving their outspoken enmity. For this work we do not claim per- 
fection ; that would be an impossibilit}'. Most townships have been gone over thoroughly, 
but still there are undoubtedl}' errors, mostly in spelling names and in dates. We have sev- 
eral cases in Warren County where members of the same family spell their names in 
different ways, and a number of cases where the dates of births, of marriages, or when they 
ime into the county, were improbable, and when brought to their notice, they had made a 
aiistake generally of ten years in calculation. We give om- agents the most positive in- 
structions to be especially careful in getting names and dates, but ofttimes men are indiffer- 
■nt in giving required information, and when met on the road, at the thrashing machine, or 
jn the rain or cold, the information is given hurriedly or carelessly, and our agents are 
obliged to put it down as given them, and when copied, mistakes necessarily occur. 

We have endeavored to get the names . of all tax-payers and voters. We have about 
5,500 names, the vote being about 4,900, which shows we could not have missed manj'. In 
oui' History of the County we have endeavored to give an interesting, condensed and correct 
sketch. Our Histor}^ of Illinois will give the reader some interesting and valuable histori- 
cal facts. Our Laws should be carefully read by every business man and farmer ; they con- 
tain invaluable information. In fact we have toiled long and at great expense, and have 
far exceeded our promises to make every thing in these pages Interesting and valuable, and 
all you could expect or wish, and in your criticisms, please to bear in mind that in gather- 
ing, compiling and publishing a volume of this kind, perfection would be an impossi- 
bility. 

We wish to extend our sincere and warmest thanks to the citizens of Warren County 
for their kind treatment, and for assistance rendered us in furnishing information for this 
work. They are too numerous to here name, but to the press and early settlers m particular 
we arc grateful for their labors in aiding us to gather the matei'ial for the Historj' of the 
■County.

History of Illinois. 



The name of this beautiful Prairie State is derived from Illini, a 
Delaware word signifying Superior Men. It has a French termination, 
and is a symbol of how the two races — the French and the Indians — 
were intermixed during the early history of the country. 

The appellation was no doubt well applied to the primitive inhabit- 
ants of the soil whose prowess in savage warfare long withstood the 
combined attacks of the fierce Iroquois on the one side, and the no less 
savage and relentless Sacs and Foxes on the other. The Illinois were 
once a powerful confederacy, occupying the most beautiful and fertile 
region in the great Valley of the Mississippi, which their enemies coveted 
and struggled long and hard to wrest from them. By the fortunes of 
war they were diminished in numbers, and finally destroyed. " Starved 
Rock," on the Illinois River, according to tradition, commemorates their 
.last tragedy, where, it i^ said, the entire tribe starved rather than sur- 
render. 

EARLY DISCOVERIES. 

The first European discoveries in Illinois date back over two hun- 
dred years. They are a part of that movement which, from the begin- 
ning to the middle of the seventeenth century, brought the French 
Canadian missionaries and fur traders into the Valley of the Mississippi, 
and which, at a later period, established the civil and ecclesiastical 
authority of France from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico, 
and from the foot-hills of the AUeghanies to the Rocky Mountains. 

The great river of the West had been discovered by DeSoto, the 
Spanish conqueror of Florida, three quarters of a century before the 
French founded Quebec in 1608, but the Spanish left the country a wil- 
derness, without further exploration or settlement within its borders, in 
which condition it remained until the Mississippi was discovered by the 
agents of the French Canadian government, Jolietand Marquette, in 1673. 
These renowned explorers were not the first white visitors to Illinois. 
In 1671 — two years in advance of them — came Nicholas Perrot to Chicago. 
He had been sent by Talon as an agent of the Canadian government to 
2

call a great peace convention of Western Indians at Green Bay, prepara- 
tory to the movement for the discovery of the Mississippi. It was 
deemed a good stroke of policy to secure, as far as possible, the fiiend- 
sliip and co-operation of the Indians, far and near, before venturing upon 
an enterprise wliicli tlieir liostility might render disastrous, and wiiicli 
their friendsliip and assistance would do so much to make successful ; 
and to this end Perrot was sent to call together in council the tribes 
throughout tlu- Nortliwest, and to promise them the commerce and pro- 
tection of the Frencli government. He accordingly arrived at Green 
Bay in 1671, and procuring an escort of Pottawattamies, proceeded in a 
bark canoe upon a visit to the Miamis, at Chicago. Perrot was there- 
fore tlie first European to set foot upon tiie soil of Illinois. 

Still lliere were others before Marquette. In 1672, the Jesuit mis- 
sionaries, Fathers Claude Allouez and Claude Dablon, bore tlie standard 
of the Cross from their mission at Green Bay through western Wisconsin 
and northern Illinois, visiting the Foxes on Fox River, and the Masquo- 
tines and Kickapoos at tlie moutli of the Milwaukee. These missionaries 
penetrated on the route afterwards followed by Marquette as far as the 
Kickapoo village at the head of Lake Winnebago, where Marquette, in 
his journey, secured guides across the portage to the Wisconsin. 

The oft-repeated story of Marquette and Joliet is well known. 
They were the agents employed by the Canadian government to discover 
the Mississippi. Marquette was a native of France, born in 1637, a 
Jesuit priest by education, and a man of simple faith and of great zeal and' 
devotion in extending the Roman Catholic religion among the Indians. 
Arriving iu Canada in 1666, he was sent as a missionary to the far 
Northwest, and, in 1668, founded a mission at Sault Ste. Marie. The 
following year he moved to La Pointe, in Lake Superior, where he 
instructed a branch of the Hurons till 1670, when he removed south, and 
founded tlie mission at St. Ignace, on the Straits of Mackinaw. Here 
he remained, devoting a portion of his time to the study of the Illinois 
language under a native teacher who had accompanied him to the mission 
from La Pointe, till he was joined by Joliet in the Spring of 1673. By 
tiie way of Green Bay and the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, they entered 
the Mississippi, wiiich they explored to tlie mouth of the Arkansas, and 
returned by the way of the Illinois and Chicago Rivers to Lake Michigan. 

On his way up the Illinois, Marquette visited the great village of 
the Kaskaskias, near what is now Utica, in the county of LaSalle. The 
following year he returned and established among them the mission of 
the Immaculate Virgin Mary, which was the first Jesuit mission founded 
in Illinois and in the Mississippi Valley. The intervening winter he 
liad spent in a hut which his companions erected on the Chicago River, a 
few leagues from its mouth. The founding of this mission was the last 



HISTOKY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 15 

act of Marquette's life. He died in Michigan, on his way back to Green 
Bay, May 18, 1675. 

FIRST FRENCH OCCUPATION. 

The first French occupation of the territory now embraced in Illi- 
nois was effected by LaSalle in 1680, seven years after the time of Mar- 
quette and Joliet. LaSalle, having constructed a vessel, the " Griffin," 
above the falls of Niagara, which he sailed to Green Bay, and having 
passed thence in canoes to the mouth of the St. Joseph River, by which 
and the Kankakee he reached the Illinois, in January, 1680, erected Fort 
Orevecoeur, at the lower end of Peoria Lake, where the city of Peoria is 
now situated. The place where this ancient fort stood may still be seen 
just below the outlet of Peoria Lake. It was destined, however, to a 
temporary existence. From this point, LaSalle determined to descend 
the Mississippi to its mouth, but did not accomplish this purpose till two 
years later — in 1682. Returning to Fort Frontenac for the purpose of 
getting materials with which to rig his vessel, he left the fort in charge of 
Touti, his lieutenant, who during his absence was driven off by the Iro- 
quois Indians. These savages had made a raid upon the settlement of 
the Illinois, and had left nothing in their track but ruin and desolation. 
Mr. Davidson, in his History of Illinois, gives the following graphic 
account of the picture that met the eyes of LaSalle and his companions 
on their return : 

" At the great town of the Illinois they were appalled at the scene 
which opened to their view. No hunter appeared to break its death-like 
silence with a salutatory whoop ot welcome. The plain on which the 
town had stood was now strewn with charred fragments of lodges, which 
had so recently swarmed with savage life and hilarity. To render more 
hideous the picture of desolation, large numbers of skulls had been 
placed on the upper extremities of lodge-poles which had escaped the 
devouring flames. In the midst of these horrors was the rude fort of 
the spoilers, rendered frightful by the same ghastly relics. A near 
approach showed that the graves had been robbed of their bodies, and 
swarms of buzzards were discovered glutting their loathsome stomachs 
on the reeking corruption. To complete the work of destruction, the 
growing corn of the village had been cut down and burned, while the 
pits containing the products of previous years, had been rifled and their 
contents scattered with wanton waste. It was evident the suspected 
blow of the Iroquois had fallen with relentless fury." 

Touti had escaped LaSalle knew not whither. Passing down the 
lake in search of him and his men, LaSalle discovered that the fort had 
been destroyed, but the vessel which he had partly constructed was still 



16 HISTORY OP THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 

on the stocks and but slightly injured. After further fruitless search, 
failing to find Touti, he fastened to a tree a painting representing himself 
and party sitting in a canoe and bearing a pipe of peace, and to the paint- 
ing attached a letter addressed to Touti. 

Touti had escaped, and, after untold privations, taken shelter among 
the Pottawattamies near Green Bay. These were friendly to the French. 
One of their old chiefs used to say, " There were but three great cap- 
tains in the world, himself, Touti and LaSalle." 

GENIUS OF LaSALLE. 

We must now return to LaSalle, #hose exploits stand out in such 
bold relief. He was born in Rouen, France, in 1643. His father was 
wealthy, but he renounced his patrimony on entering a college of the 
Jesuits, from which he separated and came to Canada a poor man in 1666. 
The priests of St. Sulpice, among whom he had a brother, were then the 
proprietors of Montreal, the nucleus of which was a seminary or con- 
vent founded by that order. The Superior granted to LaSalle a large 
tract of land at LaChine, where he established himself in the fur trade. 
He was a man of daring genius, and outstripped all his competitors in 
exploits of travel and commerce with the Indians. In 1669, he visited 
the headquarters of the great Iroquois Confederacy, at Onondaga, in the 
heart of New York, and, obtaining guides, explored the Ohio River to 
the falls at Louisville. 

In order to understand the genius of LaSalle, it must be remembered 
that for many years prior to his time the missionaries and traders were 
obliged to make their way to the Northwest by the Ottawa River (of 
Canada) on account of the fierce hostility of the Iroquois along the lower 
lakes and Niagara River, which entirely closed this latter route to the 
Upper Lakes. They carried on their commerce chiefly hj canoes, pad- 
dling them through the Ottawa to Lake Nipissing, carrying them across 
the portage to French River, and descending that to Lake Huron. This 
being the route by which they reached the Northwest, accounts for the 
fact that all the earliest Jesuit missions were established in the neighbor- 
hood of the Upper Lakes. LaSalle conceived the grand idea of opening 
the route by Niagara River and the Lower Lakes to Canadian commerce 
by sail vessels, connecting it with the navigation of the Mississippi, and 
thus opening a magnificent water communication from the Gulf of St. 
Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico. This truly grand and comprehensive 
purpose seems to have animated him in all his wonderful achievements 
and the matchless difficulties and hardships he surmounted. As the first 
step in the accomplishment of this object he established himself on Lake 
Ontario, and built and garrisoned Fort Frontenac, the site of the present 



HlSTOiff OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 17 

city of Kingston, Canada. Here he obtained a grant of land from the 
French crown and a body of troops by which he beat back the invading 
Iroquois and cleared the passage to Niagara Falls. Having by this mas- 
terly stroke made it safe to attempt a hitherto untried expedition, his 
next step, as we have seen, was to advance to the Falls with all his 
outfit for building a ship with which to sail the lakes. He was success- 
ful in this undertaking, though his ultimate purpose was defeated by a 
strange combination of untoward circumstances. The Jesuits evidently 
hated LaSalle and plotted against him, because he had abandoned them 
and co-operated with a rival order. The fur traders were also jealous of 
his superior success in opening new channels of commerce. At LaChine 
he had taken the trade of Lake Ontario, which but for his presence there 
would have gone to Quebec. While they were plodding with their bark 
canoes through the Ottawa he was constructing sailing vessels to com- 
mand the trade of the lakes and the Mississippi. These great plans 
excited the jealousy and envy of the sipall traders, introduced treason and 
revolt into the ranks of his own companions, and finally led to the foul 
assassination by which his great achievements were prematurely ended. 

In 1682, LaSalle, having completed his vessel at Peoria, descended 
the Mississippi to its confluence with the Gulf of Mexico. Erecting a 
standard on which he inscribed the arms of France, he took formal pos- 
session of the whole valley of the mighty river, in the name of Louis 
XIV., then reigning, in honor of whom he named the country Louisiana. 

LaSalle then went to France, was appointed Governor, and returned 
with a fleet and immigrants, for the purpose of planting a colony in Illi- 
nois. They arrived in due time in the Gulf of Mexico, but failing to 
find the mouth of the Mississippi, up which LaSalle intended to sail, his 
supply ship, with the immigrants, was driven ashore and wrecked on 
Matagorda Bay. With the fragments of the vessel he constructed a 
stockade and rude huts on the shore for the protection of the immigrants, 
calling the post Fort St. Louis. He then made a trip into New Mexico, 
in search of silver mines, but, meeting with disappointment, returned to 
find his little colony reduced to forty souls. He then resolved to travel 
on foot to Illinois, and, starting with his companions, had reached the 
valley of the Colorado, near the mouth of Trinity river, when he was 
shot by one of his men. This occurred on the 19th of March, 1687. 

Dr. J. W. Foster remarks of him : " Thus fell, not far from the banks 
of the Trinity, Robert Cavalier de la Salle, one of the grandest charac- 
ters that ever figured in American history — a man capable of originating 
the vastest schemes, and endowed with a will and a judgment capable of 
carrying them to successful results. Had ample facilities been placed by 
the King of France at his disposal, the result of the colonization of this 
continent might have been far different from what we now behold." 



18 HISTORY OP THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 



EARLY SETTLEMENTS. 

A temporary settlement was made at Fort St. Louis, or the old Kas- 
kaskia village, on the Illinois River, in what is now LaSalle County, in 
1682. In 1690, this was removed, with the mission connected with it, to 
Kaskaskia, on the river of that name, emptying into the Iow6r Mississippi 
in St. Clair County. Cahokia was settled about the same time, or at 
least, both of the'se settlements began in the year 1690, though it is now 
pretty well settled that Cahokia is the older place, and ranks as the oldest 
permanent settlement in Illinois, as well as in the Mississippi Valley. 
The reason for the removal of the old Kaskaskia settlement and mission, 
was probably because the dangerous and difficult route by Lake Michigan 
and the Chicago portage had been almost abandoned, and travelers and 
traders passed down and up the Mississippi by the Fox and Wisconsin 
River route. They removed, to the vicinity of the Mississippi in order 
to be in the line of travel from Canada to Louisiana, that is, the lower 
part of it, for it was all Louisiana then south of the lakes. 

During the period of French rule in Louisiana, the population prob- 
ably never exceeded ten thousand, including whites and blacks. Within 
that portion of it now included in Indiana, trading posts were established 
at the principal Miami villages which stood on the head waters of the 
Maumee, the Wea villages situated at Ouiatenon, on the Wabash, and 
the Piankeshaw villages at Post Vincennes ; all of which were probably 
visited by French traders and missionaries before the close of the seven- 
teenth century. 

In the vast territory claimed by the French, many settlements of 
considerable importance had sprung up. Biloxi, on Mobile Bay, had 
been founded by DTberville, in 1699 ; Antoine de Lamotte Cadillac had 
founded Detroit in 1701 ; and New Orleans had been founded by Bien- 
ville, under the auspices of the Mississippi Company, in 1718. In Illi- 
nois also, considerable settlements had been made, so that in 1730 they 
embraced one hundred and forty French families, about six hundred " con- 
verted Indians," and many traders and voyageurs. In that portion of the 
country, on the east side of the Mississippi, there were five distinct set- 
tlements, with their respective villages, viz. : Cahokia, near the mouth 
of Cahokia Creek and about five miles below the present city of St. 
Louis ; St. Philip, about forty-five miles below Cahokia, and four miles 
above Fort Chartres ; Fort Chartres, twelve miles above Kaskaskia ; 
Kaskaskia, situated on the Kaskaskia River, five miles above its conflu- 
ence with the Mississippi ; and Prairie du Rocher, near Fort Chartres. 
To these must be added St. Genevieve and St. Louis, on the west side 
of the Mississippi. These, with the exception of St. Louis, are among 



HISTORY OP THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 19 

the oldest French towns in the Mississippi Valley. Kaskaskia, in its best 
days, was a town of some two or three thousand inhabitants. After it 
passed from the crown of France its population for many years did not 
exceed fifteen hundred. Under British rule, in 1773, the population had 
decreased to four hundred and fifty. As early as 1721, the Jesuits had 
established a college and a monastery in Kaskaskia. 

Fort Chartres was first built under the direction of the Mississippi 
Company, in 1718, by M. de Boisbraint, a military officer, under command 
of Bienville. It stood on the east bank of the Mississippi, about eighteen 
miles below Kaskaskia, and was for some time the headquarters of the 
military commandants of the district of Illinois. 

In the Centennial Oration of Dr. Fowler, delivered at Philadelphia, 
by appointment of Gov. Beveridge, we find some interesting facts with 
regard to the State of Illinois, which we appropriate in this history : 

In 1682 Illinois became a possession of the French crown, a depend- 
ency of Canada, and a part of Louisiana. In 1765 the English flag was 
run up on old Fort Chartres, and Illinois was counted among the treas- 
ures of Great Britain. 

In 1779 it was taken from the English by Col. George Rogers Clark. 
This man was resolute in nature, wise in council, prudent in policy, bold 
in action, and heroic in danger. Few men who have figured in the his- 
tory of America are more deserving than this colonel. Nothing short of 
first-class ability could have rescued Vincens and all Illinois from the 
English. And it is not possible to over-estimate the influence of this 
achievement upon the republic. In 1779 Illinois became a part of Vir- 
ginia. It was soon known as Illinois County. In 1784 Virginia ceded 
all this territory to the general government, to be cut into States, to be 
republican in form, with " the same right of sovereignty, freedom, and 
independence as the other States." 

In 1787 it was the object of the wisest and ablest legislation found 
in any merely human records. No man can study the secret history of 

THE " COMPACT OF 1787," 

and not feel that Providence was guiding with sleepless eye these unborn 
States. The ordinance that on July 13, 1787, finally became the incor- 
porating act, has a most marvelous history. Jefferson had vainly tried 
to secure a system of government for the northwestern territory. He 
was an emancipationist of that day, and favored the exclusion of slavery 
from the territory Virginia had ceded to the general government ; but 
the South voted him down as often as it came up. In 1787, as late as 
July 10, an organizing act without the anti-slavery clause was pending. 
This concession to the South was expected to carry it. Congress was in 



20 HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 

session in New York City. On July 5, Rev. Dr. Manasseh Cutler, of 
Massachusetts, came into New York to lobby on the northwestern terri- 
tory. Everything seemed to fall into his hands. Events were ripe. 

The state of the public credit, the growing of Southern prejudice, 
the basis of his mission, his personal character, all combined to complete 
one of those sudden and marvelous revolutions of public sentiment that 
once in five or ten centuries are seen to sweep over a country like the 
breath of the Almighty. Cutler was a graduate of Yale — received his 
A.M. from Harvard, and his D.D. from Yale. He had studied and taken 
degrees in the three learned professions, medicine, law, and divinity. He 
had thus America's best indorsement. He had published a scientific 
examination of the plants of New England. His name stood second only 
to that of Franklin as a scientist in America. He was a courtly gentle- 
man of the old style, a man of commanding presence, and of inviting 
face. The Southern members said they had never seen such a gentleman 
in the North. He came representing a company that desired to purchase 
a tract of land now included in Ohio, for the purpose of planting a colony. 
It was a speculation. Government money was worth eighteen cents on 
the dollar. This Massachusetts company had collected enough to pur- 
chase 1,500,000 acres of land. Other speculators in New York made 
Dr. Cutler their agent (lobbyist). On the 12th he represented a demand 
for 5,500,000 acres. This would reduce the national debt. Jefferson 
and Virginia were regarded as authority concerning the land Virginia 
had just ceded. Jefferson's policy wanted tq provide for the public credit, 
and this was a good opportunity to do something. 

Massachusetts then owned the territory of Maine, which she was 
crowding on the market. She was opposed to opening the northwestern 
region. This fired the zeal of Virginia. The South caught the inspira- 
tion, and all exalted Dr. Cutler. The English minister invited him to 
dine with some of the Southern gentlemen. He was the center of interest. 

The entire South rallied round him. Massachusetts could not vote 
against him, because many of the constituents of her members were 
interested personally in the western speculation. Thus Cutler, making 
friends with the South, and, doubtless, using all the arts of the lobby, 
was enabled to command the situation. True to deeper convictions, he 
dictated one of the most compact and finished documents of wise states- 
manship that has ever adorned any human law book. He borrowed from 
Jefferson the term "Articles of Compact," which, preceding the federal 
constitution, rose into the most sacred character. He then followed very 
closely the constitution of Massachusetts, adopted three years before. 
Its most marked points were : 

1. The exclusion of slavery from the territory forever. 

2. Provision for public schools, giving one township for a seminary, 



HISTOEY OP THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 21 

and every section numbered 16 in each township ; that is, one-thirty-sixth 
of all the land, for public schools. 

3. A provision prohibiting the adoption of any constitution or the 
enactment of any law that should nullify pre-existing contracts. 

Be it forever remembered that this compact declared that " Religion, 
morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the 
happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall always 
be encouraged." 

Dr. Cutler planted himself on this platform and would not yield. 
Giving his unqualified declaration that it was that or nothing — that unless 
they could make the land desirable they did not want it — he took his 
horse and buggy, and started for the constitutional convention in Phila- 
delphia. On July 13, 1787, the bill was put upon its passage, and was 
unanimously adopted, every Southern member voting for it, and only one 
man, Mr. Yates, of New York, voting against it. But as the States voted 
as States, Yates lost his vote, and the compact was put beyond repeal. 

Thus the great States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis- 
consin — a vast empire, the heart of the^ great valley — were consecrated 
to freedom, intelligence, and honesty. Thus the great heart of the nation 
was prepared for a year and a day and an hour. In the light of these eighty- 
nine years I affirm that this act was the salvation of the republic and the 
destruction of slavery. Soon the South saw their great blunder, and 
tried to repeal the compact. In 1808 Congress referred it to a committee 
of which John Randolph was chairman. He reported that this ordinance 
was a compact, and opposed repeal. Thus it stood a rock, in the way 
of the on-rushing sea of slavery. 

With all this timely aid it was, after all, a most desperate and pro- 
tracted struggle to keep the soil of Illinois sacred to freedom. It was 
the natural battle-field for the irrepressible conflict. In the southern end 
of the State slavery preceded the compact. It existed among the old 
French settlers, and was hard to eradicate. The southern part of the 
State was settled from the slave States, and this population brought their 
laws, customs, and institutions with them. A stream of population from 
the North poured into the northern part of the State. These sections 
misunderstood and hated each other perfectly. The Southerners regarded 
the Yankees as a skinning, tricJcy, penurious race of peddlers, filling the 
country with tinware, brass clocks, and wooden nutmegs. The North- 
erner thought of the Southerner as a lean, lank, lazy creature, burrowing 
in a hut, and rioting in whisky, dirt and ignorance. These causes aided 
in making the struggle long and bitter. So strong was the sympathy 
with slavery that, in spite of the ordinance of 1787, and in spite of the 
deed of cession, it was determined to allow the old French settlers to 
retain their slaves. Planters from the slave States might bring their 



22 HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 

slaves, if they would give them a chance to choose freedom or years 
of service and bondage for their children till they should become 
thirty years of age. If they chose freedom they must leave the State 
in sixty days or be sold as fugitives. Servants were whipped for offenses 
for which white men are fined. Each lash paid forty cents of the fine. A 
negro ten miles from home without a pass was whipped. These famous 
laws were imported from the slave States just as they imported laws for 
the inspection of flax and wool when there was neither in the State. 

These Black Laws are now wiped out. A vigorous effort was made 
to protect slavery in the State Constitution of 1817. It barely failed. 
It was renewed in 1825, when a convention was asked to make a new 
constitution. After a hard fight the convention was defeated. But 
slaves did not disappear from the census of the State until 1850. There 
were mobs and murders in the interest of slavery. Lovejoy was added 
to the list of martyrs — a sort of first-fruits of that long life of immortal 
heroes who saw freedom as the one supreme desire of their souls, and 
were so enamored of her that they preferred to die rather than survive her. 

The population of 12,282 that occupied the territory in A.D. 1800, 
increased to 45,000 in A.D. 1818, when the State Constitution was 
adopted, and Illinois took her place in the Union, with a star on the flag 
and two votes in the Senate. 

Shadrach Bond was the first Governor, and in his first message he 
recommended the construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal. 

The simple economy in those days is seen in the fact that the entire 
bill for stationery for the first Legislature was only $13.50. Yet this 
simple body actually enacted a very superior code. 

There was no money in the territory before the war of 1812. Deer 
skins and coon skins were the circulating medium. In 1821, the Legis- 
lature ordained a State Bank on the credit of the State. It issued notes 
in the likeness of bank bills. These notes were made a legal tender for 
every thing, and the bank was ordered to loan to the people flOO on per- 
sonal security, and more on mortgages. They actually passed a resolu- 
tion requesting the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States to 
receive these notes for land. The old French Lieutenant G-overnor, Col. 
Menard, put the resolution as follows : " Gentlemen of the Senate : It is 
moved and seconded dat de notes of dis hank be made land-office money. 
All in favor of dat motion say aye ; all against it say no. It is decided 
in de affirmative. Now, gentlemen, I bet you one hundred dollar he 
never be land-office money ! " Hard sense, like hard money, is always 
above par. 

This old Frenchman presents a fine figure up against the dark back- 
ground of most of his nation. They made no progress. They clung to 
their earliest and simplest implements. They never wore hats or caps.

They pulled their blankets over their heads in the winter like the Indians, 
with whom they freely intermingled. 

Demagogism had an early development. One John Grammar (only 
in name), elected to the Territorial and State Legislatures of 1816 and 
1836, invented the policy of opposing every new thing, saying, " If it 
succeeds, no one will ask who voted against it. If it proves a failure, he 
could quote its record." In sharp contrast with Grammar was the char- 
acter of D. P. Cook, after whom the county containing Chicago was 
named. Such was his transparent integrity and remarkable ability that 
his will was almost the law of the State. In Congress, a young man, 
and from a poor State, he was made Chairman of the Ways and Means 
Committee. He was pre-eminent for standing by his committee, regard- 
less of consequences. It was his integrity that elected John Quincy 
Adams to the Presidency. There were four candidates in 1824, Jackson, 
Clay, Crawford, and John Quincy Adams. There being no choice by the 
people, the election was thrown into the House. It was so balanced that 
it turned on his vote, and that he cast for Adams, electing him ; then 
went home to face the wrath of the Jackson party in Illinois. It cost 
him all but character and greatness. It is a suggestive comment on the 
times, that there was no legal interest till 1830. It often reached 150 
per cent., usually 50 per cent. Then it was reduced to 12, and now to 
10 per cent. 

PHYSICAL FEATURES OF THE PRAIRIE STATE. 

In area the State has 55,410 square miles of territory. It is about 
150 miles wide and 400 miles long, stretching in latitude from Maine to 
North Carolina. It embraces wide variety of climate. It is tempered 
on the north by the great inland, saltless, tideless sea, which keeps the 
thermometer from either extreme. Being a table land, from 600 to 1,600 
feet above the level of the sea, one is prepared to find on the health 
maps, prepared by the general government, an almost clean and perfect 
record. In freedom from fever and malarial diseases and consumptions, 
the three deadly enemies of the American Saxon, Illinois, as a State, 
stands without a superior. She furnishes one of the essential conditions 
of a great people — sound bodies. I suspect that this fact lies back of 
that old Delaware word, Illini, superior men. 

The great battles of history that have been determinative of dynas- 
ties and destinies have been strategical battles, chiefly the question of 
position. Thermopylse has been the war-cry of freemen for twenty-four 
centuries. It only tells how much there may be in position. All this 
advantage belongs to Illinois. It is in the heart of the greatest valley in 
the world, the vast region between the mountains — a valley that could 



24 HISTOEY OF THE STATE OF ILLLNOIS. 

feed mankind for one thousand years. It is well on toward the center of 
the continent. It is in the great temperate belt, in which have been 
found nearly all the aggressive civilizations of history. It has sixty-five 
miles of frontage on the head of the lake. With the Mississippi forming . 
the western and southern boundary, with the Ohio running along the 
southeastern line, with the Illinois River and Canal dividing the State 
diagonally from the lake to the Lower Mississippi, and with the Rock and 
Wabash Rivers furnishing altogether 2,000 miles of water-front, con- 
necting with, and running through, in all about 12,000 miles of navi- 
gable water. 

But this is not all. These waters are made most available by the 
fact that the lake and the State lie on the ridge running into the great 
valley from the east. Within cannon-shot of the lake the water runs 
away from the lake to the Gulf. The lake now empties at both ends, 
one into the Atlantic and one into the Gulf of Mexico. The lake thus 
seems to hang over the land. This malces the dockage most serviceable ; 
there are no steep banks to damage it. Both lake and river are made 
for use. 

The climate varies from Portland to Richmond ; it favors every pro- 
duct of the continent, including the tropics, with less than half a dozen 
exceptions. It produces every great nutriment of the world except ban- 
anas and rice. It is hardly too much to say that it is the most productive 
spot known to civilization. With the soil full of bread and the earth full 
of minerals ; with an upper surface of food and an under layer of fuel ; 
with perfect natural drainage, and abundant springs and streams and 
navigable rivers ; half way between the forests of the North and the fruits 
of the South ; within a day's ride of the great deposits of iron, coal, cop- 
per, lead, and zinc ; containing and controlling the great grain, cattle, 
pork, and lumber markets of the world, it is not strange that Illinois has 
the advantage of position. 

This advantage has been supplemented by the character of the popu- 
lation. In the early days when Illinois was first admitted to the Union, 
her population were chiefl}^ from Kentucky and Virginia. But, in the 
conflict of ideas concerning slavery, a strong tide of emigration came in 
from the East, and soon changed this composition. In 1870 her non- 
native population were from colder soils. New York furnished 133,290 ; 
Ohio gave 162,623; Pennsylvania sent on 98,352; the entire South gave 
us only 206,734. In all her cities, and in all her German and Scandina- 
vian and other foreign colonies, Illinois has only about one-fifth of her 
people of foreign birth. 



HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 26 



PROGRESS OP DEVELOPMENT. 

One of the greatest elements in the early development of Illinois is 
the Illinois and Michigan Canal, connecting the Illinois and Mississippi 
Rivers with the lakes. It was of the utmost importance to the State. 
It was recommended by Gov. Bond, the first governor, in his first message. 
In 1821, the Legislature appropriated $10,000 for surveying the route. 
Two bright young engineers surveyed it, and estimated the cost at 
1600,000 or 1700,000. It finally cost $8,000,000. In 1825, a law was 
passed to incorporate the Canal Company, but no stock was sold. In 
1826, upon the solicitation of Cook, Congress gave 800,000 acres of land 
on the line of the work. In 1828, another law — commissioners appointed, 
and work commenced with new survey and new estimates. In 1834-35, 
George Farquhar made an able report on the whole matter. This was, 
doubtless, the ablest report ever made to a western legislature, and it 
became the model for subsequent reports and action. From this the 
work went on till it was finished in 1848. It cost the State a large 
amount of money ; but it gave to the industries of the State an impetus 
that pushed it up into the first rank of greatness. It was not built as a 
speculation any more than a doctor is employed on a speculation. But 
it has paid into the Treasury of the State an average annual net sum of 
over $111,000. 

Pending the construction of the canal, the land and town-lot fever 
broke out in the State, in 1834-35. It took on the malignant type in 
Chicago, lifting the town up into a city. The disease spread over the 
entire State and adjoining States. It was epidemic. It cut up men's 
farms without regard to locality, and cut up the purses of the purchasers 
without regard to consequences. It is estimated that building lots enough 
were sold in Indiana alone to accommodate every citizen then in the 
United States. 

Towns and cities were exported to the Eastern market by the ship- 
load. There was no lack of buyers. Every up-ship came freighted with 
speculators and their money. 

This distemper seized upon the Legislature in 1836-37, and left not 
one to tell the tale. They enacted a system of internal improvement 
without a parallel in the grandeur of its conception. They ordered the 
construction of 1,300 miles of railroad, crossing the State in all direc- 
tions. This was surpassed by the river and canal improvements. 
There were a few counties not touched by either railroad or river or 
canal, and those were to be comforted and compensated by the free dis- 
tribution of $200,000 among them. To inflate this balloon beyond cre- 
dence it was ordered that work should be commenced on both ends of 



26 HISTOKY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 

each of these raUroads and rivers, and at each river-crossing, all at the 
same time. The appropriations for these vast improvements were over 
$12,000,000, and commissioners were appointed to borrow the money on 
the credit of the State. Remember that all this was in tlie early days of 
railroading, when railroads were luxuries ; that the State had whole 
counties with scarcely a cabin ; and that the population of the State was 
less than 400,000, and you can form some idea of the vigpr with which 
these brave men undertook the work of making a great State. In the 
light of history I am compelled to say that this was only a premature 
throb of the power that actually slumbered in the soil of the State. It 
was Hercules in the cradle. 

At this juncture the State Bank loaned its funds largely to Godfrey 
Gilman & Co., and to other leading houses, for the purpose of drawing 
trade from St. Louis to Alton. Soon they failed, and took down the 
bank with them. 

In 1840, all hope seemed gone. A population of 480,000 were loaded 
with a debt of $14,000,000. It had only six small cities, really only 
towns, namely: Chicago, Alton, Springfield, Quincy, Galena, Nauvoo. 
This debt was to be cared for when there was not a dollar in the treas- 
ury, and when the State had borrowed itself out of all credit, and when 
there was not good money enough in the hands of all the people to pay 
the interest of the debt for a single year. Yet, in the presence of all 
these difficulties, the young State steadily refused to repudiate. Gov. 
Ford took hold of the problem and solved it, bringing the State through 
in triumph. 

Having touched lightly upon some of the more distinctive points in 
the history of the development of Illinois, let us next briefly consider the 

MATERIAL RESOURCES OF THE STATE. 

It is a garden four hundred miles long and one hundred and fifty 
miles wide. Its soil is chiefly a black sandy loam, from six inches to 
sixty feet thick. On the American bottoms it has been cultivated for 
one hundred and fifty years without renewal. About the old French 
towns it has yielded corn for a century and a half without rest or help. 
It produces nearly everything green in the temperate and tropical zones. 
She leads all other States in the number of acres actually under plow. 
Her products from 25,000,000 of acres are incalculable. Her mineral 
wealth is scarcely second to her agricultural power. She has coal, iron, 
lead, copper, zinc, many varieties of building stone, fire clay, cuma clay, 
common brick clay, sand of all kinds, gravel, mineral paint — every thing 
needed for a high civilization. Left to herself, she has the elements of 
all greatness. The single item of coal is too vast for an appreciative 



HISTOBY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 2T 

handling in figures. We can handle it in general terms like algebraical 
signs, but long before we get up into the millions and billions the human 
mind drops down from comprehension to mere symbolic apprehension. 

When I tell you that nearly four-fifths of the entire State is under- 
laid with a deposit of coal more than forty feet thick on the average (now 
estimated, by recent surveys, at seventj'' feet thick), you can get some 
idea of its amount, as you do of the amount of the national debt. There 
it is ! 41,000 square miles — one vast mine into which you could put 
any of the States ; in which you could bury scores of European and 
ancient empires, and have room enough all round to work without know- 
ing that they had been sepulchered there. 

Put this vast coal-bed down by the other great coal deposits of the 
world, and its importance becomes manifest. Great Britain has 12,000 
square miles of coal; Spain, 3,000; France, 1,719 ; Belgium, 578 ; Illinois 
about twice as many square miles as all combined. Virginia has 20,000 
square miles ; Pennsylvania, 16,000 ; Ohio, 12,000. Illinois has 41,000 
square miles. One-seventh of all the known coal on this continent is in 
Illinois. 

Could we sell the coal in this single State for one-seventh of one cent 
a ton it would pay the national debt. Converted into power, even with 
the wastage in our common engines, it would do more work than could 
be done by the entire i-ace, beginning at Adam's wedding and working 
ten hours a day through all the centuries till the present time, and right 
on into the future at the same rate for the next 600,000 years. 

Great Britain uses enough mechanical power to-day to give to each 
man, woman, and child in the kingdom the help and service of nineteen 
untiring servants. No wonder she has leisure and luxuries. No wonder 
the home of the common artisan has in it more luxuries than could be 
found in the palace of good old King Arthur. Think, if you can conceive 
of it, of the vast army of servants that slumber in the soil of Illinois, 
impatiently awaiting the call of Genius to come forth to minister to our 
comfort. 

At the present rate of consumption England's coal supply will be 
exhausted in 250 years. When this is gone she must transfer her dominion 
either to the Indies, or to British America, which I would not resist ; or 
to some other people, which I would regret as a loss to civilization. 

COAL IS KING. 

At the same rate of consumption (which far exceeds our own) the 
deposit of coal in Illinois will last 120,000 years. And her kingdom shall 
be an everlasting kingdom. 

Let us turn no-w from this reserve power to the annual products of 



28 HISTOEY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 

the State. We shall not be humiliated in this field. Here we strike the 
secret of our national credit. Nature provides a market in the constant 
appetite of the race. Men must eat, and if we can furnish the provisions 
we can command the treasure. All that a man hath will he give for his 
hfe. 

According to the last census Illinois produced 30,000,000 of bushels 
of wheat. That is more wheat than was raised by any other State in the 
Union. She raised last year 130,000,000 of bushels of corn — twice as 
much as any other State, and one-sixth of all the corn raised in the United 
States. She harvested 2,747,000 tons of hay, nearly one-tenth of all the 
hay in the Republic. It is not generally appreciated, but it is true, that 
the hay crop of the country is worth more than the cotton crop. The 
hay of Illinois equals the cotton of Louisiana. Go to Charleston, S. C, 
and see them peddling handfuls of hay or grass, almost as a curiosity, 
as we regard Chinese gods or the cryolite of Greenland; drink your 
coffee and condensed milk; and walk back from the coast for man)^ a 
league through the sand and burs till you get up into the better atmos- 
phere of the mountains, without seeing a waving meadow or a grazing 
herd ; then you will begin to appreciate the meadows of the Prairie State, 
where the grass often grows sixteen feet high. 

The value of her fai'm implements is $211,000,000, and the value of 
her live stock is only second to the great State of New York. Last year 
she had 25,000,000 hogs, and packed 2,113,845, about one-half of all that 
were packed in the United States. This is no insignificant item. Pork 
is a growing demand of the old world. Since the laborers of Europe 
have gotten a taste of our bacon, and we have learned how to pack it dry 
in boxes, like dry goods, the world has become the market. 

The hog is on the march into the future. His nose is ordained to 
uncover the secrets of dominion, and his feet shall be guided by the star 
of empire. 

Illinois marketed $57,000,000 worth of slaughtered animals — more 
than any other State, and a seventh of all the States. 

Be patient with me, and pardon my pride, and I will give you a list 
of some of the things in which Illinois excels all other States. 

Depth and richness of soil ; per cent, of good ground ; acres of 
improved land ; large farms — some farms contain from 40,000 to 60,000 
acres of cultivated land, 40,000 acres of corn on a single farm ; number of 
farmers ; amount of wheat, corn, oats and honey produced ; value of ani- 
mals for slaughter ; number of hogs ; amount of pork ; number of horses 
— three times as many as Kentucky, the horse State. 

Illinois excels all other States in miles of railroads and in miles of 
postal service, and in money orders sold per annum, and in the amount of 
lumber sold in her markets.

HISTORY OJP THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 29 

Illinois is only second in many important matters. This sample list 
comprises a few of the more important : Permanent school fund (good 
for a young state) ; total income for educational purposes ; number of pub- 
lishers of books, maps, papers, etc.; value of farm products and imple- 
ments, and of live stock ; in tons of coal mined. 

The shipping of Illinois is only second to New York. Out of one 
port during the business hours of the season of navigation she sends forth 
a vessel every ten minutes. This does not include canal boats, which go 
one every five minutes. No wonder she is only second in number of 
bankers and brokers or in physicians and surgeons. 

She is third in colleges, teachers and schools ; cattle, lead, hay, 
flax, sorghum and beeswax. 

She is fourth in population, in children enrolled in public schools, in 
law schools, in butter, potatoes and carriages. 

She is fifth in value of real and personal property, in theological 
seminaries and colleges exclusively for women, in milk sold, and in boots 
and shoes manufactured, and in book-binding. 

She is only seventh in the production of wood, while she is the 
twelfth in area. Surely that is well done for the Prairie State. She now 
has much more wood and growing timber than she had thirty years ago. 

A few leading industries will justify emphasis. She manufactures 
$205,000,000 worth of goods, which places her well up toward New York 
and Pennsylvania. The number of her manufacturing establishments 
increased from i860 to 1870, 300 per cent.; capital employed increased 350 
per cent., and the amount of product increased 400 per cent. She issued 
5,500,000 copies of commercial and financial newspapers — only second to 
New York. She has 6,759 miles of railroad, thus leading all other States, 
worth $636,458,000, using 3,245 engines, and 67,712 cars, making a train 
long enough to cover one-tenth of the entire roads of the State. Her 
stations are only five miles apart. She carried last year 15,795,000 passen- 
gers, an average of 36tj miles, or equal to taking her entire population twice 
across the State. More than two-thirds of her land is within five miles of 
a railroad, and less than two per cent, is more than fifteen miles away. 

The State has a large financial interest in the Illinois Central railroad. 
The road was incorporated in 1850, and the State gave each alternate sec- 
tion for six miles on each side, and doubled the price of the remaining 
land, so keeping herself good. The road received 2,595,000 acres of land, 
and pays to the State one-seventh of the gross receipts. The State 
receives this year $350,000, and has received in all about $7,000,000. It 
is practically the people's road, and it has a most able and gentlemanly 
management. Add to this the annual receipts from the canal, $111,000, 
and a large per cent, of the State tax is provided for. 



30 mSTOKY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 



THE RELIGION AND MORALS 



of the State keep step with her productions and growth. She was born 
of the missionary spirit. It was a minister who secured for her the ordi- 
nance of 1787, by which she has been saved from slavery, ignorance, and 
dishonesty. Rev. Mr. Wiley, pastor of a Scotch congregation in Randolph 
County, petitioned the Constitutional Convention of 1818 to recognize 
Jesus Christ as king, and the Scriptures as the only necessary guide and 
book of law. The convention did not act in the case, and the old Cove- 
nanters refused to accept citizenship. They never voted until 1824, when 
the slavery question was submitted to the people; then they all voted 
against it and cast the determining votes. Conscience has predominated 
whenever a great moral question has been submitted to the people. 

But little mob violence has ever been felt in the State. In 1817 
regulators disposed of a band of horse-thieves that infested the territory. 
The Mormon indignities finally awoke the same spirit. Alton was also 
the scene of a pro-slavery mob, in which Lovejoy was added to the list of 
martyrs. The moral sense of the people makes the law supreme, and gives 
to the State unruffled peace. 

With $22,300,000 in church property, and 4,298 church organizations, 
the State has that divine police, the sleepless patrol of moral ideas, that 
alone is able to secure perfect safety. Conscience takes the knife from 
the assassin's hand and the bludgeon from the grasp of the highwayman. 
We sleep in safety, not because we are behind bolts and bars — ^these only 
fence against the innocent ; not because a lone officer drowses on a distant 
corner of a street ; not because a sheriff may call his posse from a remote 
part of the county ; but because conscience guards the very portals of the 
air and stirs in the deepest recesses of the public mind. This spirit issues 
within the State 9,500,000 copies of religious papers annually, and receives 
still more from without. Thus the crime of the State is only one-fourth 
that of New York and one-half that of Pennsylvania. 

Illinois never had but one duel between her own citizens. In Belle- 
ville, in 1820, Alphonso Stewart and William Bennett arranged to vindi- 
cate injured honor. The seconds agreed to make it a sham, and make 
them shoot blanks. Stewart was in the secret. Bennett mistrusted some- 
thing, and, unobserved, slipped a bullet into his gun and killed Stewart. 
He then fled the State. After two years he was caught, tried, convicted, 
and, in spite of friends and political aid, was hung. This fixed the code 
of honor on a Christian basis, and terminated its use in Illinois. 

The early preachers were ignorant men, who were accounted eloquent 
according to the strength of their voices. But they set the style for all 
public speakers. Lawyers and political speakers followed this rule. Gov.

Ford says: "Nevertheless, these first preachers were of incalculable 
benefit to the country. They inculcated justice and morality. To them 
are we indebted for the first Christian character of the Protestant portion 
of the people." 

In education Illinois surpasses her material resources. The ordinance 
of 1787 consecrated one thirty-sixth of her soil to common schools, and 
the law of 1818, the first law that went upon her statutes, gave three per 
cent, of all the rest to 

EDUCATION INSTEAD OF HIGHWAYS. 

The old compact secures this interest forever, and by its yoking 
morality and intelligence it precludes the legal interference with the Bible 
in the public schools. With such a start it is natural that we should have 
11,050 schools, and that our illiteracy should be less than New York or 
Pennsylvania, and only about one-half of Massachusetts. We are not to 
blame for not having more than one-half as many idiots as the great 
States. These public schools soon made colleges inevitable. The first 
college, still flourisliing, was started in Lebanon in 1828, by the M. E. 
church, and named after Bishop McKendree. Illinois College, at Jackson- 
ville, supported by the Presbyterians, followed in 1830. In 1882 the Bap- 
tists built Shurtleff College, at Alton. Then the Presbyterians built Knox 
College, at Galesburg, in 1838, and the Episcopalians built Jubilee College, 
at Peoria, in 1847. After these early years colleges have rained down. 
A settler could hardly encamp on the prairie but a college would spring 
up by his wagon. The State now has one very well endowed and equipped 
university, namely, the Northwestern University, at Evauston, with six 
colleges, ninety instructors, over 1,000 students, and $1,500,000 endow- 
ment. 

Rev. J. M. Peck was the first educated Protestant minister in tne 
State. He settled at Rock Spring, in St. Clair County, 1820, and left his 
impress on the State. Before 1887 only party papers were published, but 
Mr. Peck published a Gazetteer of Illinois. Soon after John Russell, of 
Bluffdale, published essays and tales showing genius. Judge James Hall 
published The Illinois Monthly Magazine with great ability, and an annual 
called The Western Souvenir, which gave him an enviable fame all over the 
United States. From these beginnings Illinois has gone on till she has 
more volumes in public libaaries even than Massachusetts, and of the 
44,500,000 volumes in all the public libraries of the United States, she 
has one-thirteenth. In newspapers she stands fourth. Her increase is 
marvelous. In 1850 she issued 5,000,000 copies; in 1860, 27,590,000 ; in 
1870, 118,140,000. In 1860 she had eighteen colleges and seminaries ; in 
1870 she had eighty. That is a grand advance for the war decade. 

This brings us to a record unsurpassed in the history of any age, 



32 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 



THE WAR RECORD OF ILLINOIS. 

I hardly know where to begin, or how to advance, or what to say. I 
can at best give you only a broken synopsis of her deeds, and you must 
put them in the order of glory for yourself. Her sons have always been 
foremost on fields of danger. In 1832-33, at the call of Gov. Reynolds, 
her sons drove Blackhawk over the Mississippi. 

When the Mexican war came, in May, 1846, 8,370 men offered them- 
selves when only 3,720 could be accepted. The fields of Buena Vista and 
Vera Cruz, and the storming of Cerro Gordo, will carry the glory of Illinois 
soldiers along after the infamy of the cause they served has been forgotten. 
But it was reserved till our day for her sons to find a field and cause and 
foemen that could fitly illustrate their spirit and heroism. Illinois put 
into her own regiments for the United States government 256,000 men, 
and into the army through other States enough to swell the number to 
290,000. This far exceeds all the soldiers of' the federal government in 
all the war of the revolution. Her total years of service were over 600,000. 
She enrolled men from eighteen to forty-five years of age when the law 
of Congress in 1864 — the test time — only asked for those from twenty to 
forty-five. Her enrollment was otherwise excessive. Her people wanted 
to go, and did not take the pains to correct the enrollment. Thus the 
basis of fixing the quota was too great, and then the quota itself, at least 
in the trying time, was far above any other State. 

Thus the demand on some counties, as Monroe, for example, took every 
able-bodied man in the county, and then did not have enough to fill the 
quota. Moreover, Illinois sent 20,844 men for ninety or one hundred days, 
for whom no credit was asked. When Mr. Lincoln's attention was called 
to the inequality of the quota compared with other States, he replied, 
" The country needs the sacrifice. We must put the whip on the free 
horse." In spite of all these disadvantages Illinois gave to the country 
73,000 years of service above all calls. With one-thirteenth of the popu- 
lation of the loyal States, she sent regularly one-tenth of all the soldiers, 
and in the peril of the closing calls, when patriots were few and weary, 
she then sent one-eighth of all that were called for by her loved and hon- 
ored son in the white house. Her mothers and dalighters went into the 
fields to raise the grain and keep the children together, while the fathers 
and older sons went to the harvest fields of the world. I knew a father 
and four sons who agreed that one of them must stay at home ; and they 
pulled straws from a stack to see who might go. The father was left. 
The next day he came into the camp, saying : " Mother says she can get 
the crops in, and I am going, too." I know large Methodist churches 
from which every male member went to the army. Do you want to know 



' HISTOEY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 33 

what these heroes from Illinois did in the field ? Ask any soldier with a 
good record of his own, who is thus able to judge, and he will tell you 
that the Illinois men went in to win. It is common history that the greater 
victories were won in the West. When everything else looked dark Illi- 
nois was gaining victories all down the river, and dividing the confederacy. 
Sherman took with him on his great march forty-live regiments of Illinois 
infantry, three companies of artillery, and one company of cavalry. He 
could not avoid 

GOING TO THE SEA. 

If he had been killed, I doubt not the men would have gone right on. 
Lincoln answered all rumors of Sherman's defeat with, " It is impossible ; 
there is a mighty sight of fight in 100,000 Western men." Illinois soldiers 
brought home 300 battle-flags. The first United States flag that floated 
over Richmond was an Illinois flag. She sent messengers and nurses to 
every field and hospital, to cure for her sick and wounded sons. She said, 
'• These suffering ones are my sons, and I will care for them." 

When individuals had given all, then cities and towns came forward 
with their credit to the extent of many millions, to aid these men and 
their families. 

Illinois gave the country the great general of the war — Ulysses S. 
Grant — since honored with two terms of the Presidency of the United 
States. 

One other name from Illinois comes up in all minds, embalmed in all 
hearts, that must have the supreme place in this story of our glory and 
of our nation's honor ; that name is Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois. 

The analysis of Mr. Lincoln's character is difficult on account of its 
symmetry. 

In this age we look with admiration at his uncompromising honesty. 
And well we may, for this saved us. Thousands throughout the length 
and breadth of our country who knew him only as " Honest Old Abe," 
voted for him on that account ; and wisely did they choose, for no other 
man could have carried us through the fearful night of the war. When 
his plans were too vast for our comprehension, and his faith in the cause 
too sublime for our participation ; when it was all night about us, and all 
dread before us, and all sad and desolate behind us ; when not one ray 
shone upon our cause ; when traitors were haughty and exultant at the 
South, and fierce and blasphemous at the North ; when the loyal men here 
seemed almost in the minority ; when the stoutest heart quailed, the bravest 
cheek paled ; when generals were defeating each other for place, and 
contractors were leeching out the very heart's blood of the prostrate 
republic : when every thing else had failed us, we looked at this calm, 
patient man standing like a rock in the storm, and said : " Mr. Lincoln 



34 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 

is honest, and we can trust him still." Holding to this single point with 
the energy of faith and despair we held together, and, under God, he 
brought us through to victory. 

His practical wisdom made him the wonder of all lands. With such 
certainty did Mr. Lincoln follow causes to their ultimate effects, that his 
foresight of contingencies seemed almost prophetic. 

He is radiant with all the great virtues, and his memory shall shed a 
glory upon this age that shall fill the eyes of men as they look into his- 
tory. Other men have excelled him in some point, but, taken at all 
points, all in all, he stands head and shoulders above every other man of 
6,000 years. An administrator, he saved the nation in the perils of 
unparalleled civil war. A statesman, he justified his measures by their 
success. A philanthropist, he gave liberty to one race and salvation to 
another. A moralist, he bowed from the summit of human power to the 
foot of the Cross, and became a Christian. A mediator, he exercised mercy 
under the most absolute abeyance to law. A leader, he was no partisan. 
A commander, he was untainted with blood. A ruler in desperate times, 
he was unsullied with crime. A man, he has left no word of passion, no 
thought of malice, no trick of craft, no act of jealousy, no purpose of 
selfish ambition. Thus perfected, without a model, and without a peer, 
he was dropped into these troubled years to adorn and embellish all that 
is good and all that is great in our humanity, and to present to all coming 
time the representative of the divine idea of free government. 

It is not too much to say that away down in the future, when the 
republic has fallen from its niche in the wall of time ; when the great 
war itself shall have faded out in the distance like a mist on the horizon ; 
when the Anglo-Saxon language shall be spoken only by the tongue of 
the stranger ; then the generations looking this way shall see the great 
president as the supreme figure in this vortex of historj 

CHICAGO. 

It is impossible in our brief space to give more than a meager sketch 
of such a city as Chicago, which is in itself the greatest marvel of the 
Prairie State. This mysterious, majestic, mighty city, born first of water, 
and next of fire ; sown in weakness, and raised in power ; planted among 
the willows of the marsh, and crowned with the glory of the mountains ; 
sleeping on the bosom of the prairie, and rocked on the bosom of the sea ; 
the youngest city of the world, and still the eye of the prairie, as Damas- 
cus, the oldest city of the world, is the eye of the desert. With a com- 
merce far exceeding that of Corinth on her isthmus, in the highway to 
the East ; with the defenses of a continent piled around her by the thou- 
sand miles, making her far safer than Rome on the banks of the Tiber ; 



HiSTOEf OP THE! STATE OF ILLINOIS. 35 

with schools eclipsing Alexandria and Athens ; with liberties more con- 
spicuous than those of the old republics ; with a heroism equal to the first 
Oai-thage, and with a sanctity scarcelj'' second to that of Jerusalem — set 
your thoughts on all this, lifted into the eyes of all men by the miracle of 
its growth, illuminated by the flame of its fall, and transfigured by the 
divinity of its resurrection, and you will feel, as I do, the utter impossi- 
bility of compassing this subject as it deserves. Some impression of her 
importance is received from the shock her burning gave to the civilized 
world. 

When the doubt of her calamity was removed, and the horrid fact 
was accepted, there went a shudder over all cities, and a quiver over all 
lands. There was scarcely a town in the civilized world that did not 
shake on the brink of this opening chasm. The flames of our homes red- 
dened all skies. The city was set upon a hill, and could not be hid. All 
eyes were turned upon it. To have struggled and suffered amid the 
scenes of its fall is as distinguishing as to have fought at Thermopylse, or 
Salamis, or Hastings, or Waterloo, or Bunker Hill. 

Its calamity amazed the world, because it was felt to be the common 
property of mankind. 

The early history of the city is full of interest, just as the early his- 
tory of such a man as Washington or Lincoln becomes public property, 
and is cherished by every patriot. 

Starting with 560 acres in 1833, it embraced and occupied 23,000 
acres in 1869, and, having now a population of more than 500,000, it com- 
mands general attention. 

The first settler — Jean Baptiste Pointe au Sable, a mulatto from the 
West Indies — came and began trade with the Indians in 1796. John 
Kinzie became his successor in 1804, in which year Fort Dearborn was 
erected. 

A mere trading-post was kept here from that time till about the time 
of the Blackhawk war, in 1832. It was not the city. It was merely a 
cock crowing at midnight. The morning was not yet. In 1833 the set- 
tlement about the fort was incorporated as a town. The voters were 
divided on the propriety of such corporation, twelve voting for it and one 
against it. Four years later it was incorporated as a city, and embraced 
660 acres. 

The produce handled in this city is an indication of its power. Grain 
and flour were imported from the East till as late as 1837. The first 
exportation by way of experiment was in 1839. Exports exceeded imports 
first in 1842. The Board of Trade was organized in 1848, but it was so 
weak that it needed nursing till 1855. Grain was purchased by the 
wagon-load in the street. 

I remember sitting with my father on a load of wheat, in the long 



36 HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLESTOIS. 

line of wagons along Lake street, -while the buyers came and untied the 
bags, and examined the grain, and made their bids. That manner of 
business had to cease with the day of small things. Now our elevators 
will hold 15,000,000 bushels of grain. The cash value of the produce 
handled in a year is 1215,000,000, and the produce weighs 7,000,000 
tons or 700,000 car loads. This handles thirteen and a half ton each 
minute, all the year round. One tenth of all the wheat -in the United 
States is handled in Chicago. Even as long ago as 1853 the receipts of 
grain in Chicago exceeded those of the goodly city of St. Louis, and in 
1854 the exports of grain from Chicago exceeded those of New York and 
doubled those of St. Petersburg, Archangel, or Odessa, the largest grain 
markets in Europe. 

The manufacturing interests of the city are not contemptible. In 
1873 manufactories employed 45,000 operatives ; in 1876, 60,000. The 
manufactured product in 1875 was worth 1177,000,000. 

No estimate of the size and power of Chicago would be adequate 
that did not put large emphasis on the railroads. Before they came 
thundering along our streets canals were the hope of our country. But 
who ever thinks now of traveling by canal packets ? In June, 1852, 
there were only forty miles -of railroad connected with the city. The 
old Galena division of the Northwestern ran out to Elgin. But now, 
who can count the trains and measure the roads that seek a terminus or 
connection in this city ? The lake stretches away to the north, gathering 
in to this center all the harvests that might otherwise pass to the north 
of us. If you will take a map and look at the adjustment of railroads, 
you will see, first, that Chicago is the great railroad center of the world, 
as New York is the commercial city of this continent ; and, second, that 
the railroad lines form the iron spokes of a great wheel whose hub is 
this city. The lake furnishes the only break in the spokes, and this 
seems simply to have pushed a few spokes together on each shore. See 
the eighteen trunk lines, exclusive of eastern connections. 

Pass round the circle, and view their numbers and extent. There 
is the great Northwestern, with all its branches, one branch creeping 
along the lake shore, and so reaching to the north, into the Lake Superior 
regions, away to the right, and on to the Northern Pacific on the left, 
swinging around Green Bay for iron and copper and silver, twelve months 
in the year, and reaching out for the wealth of the great agricultural 
belt and isothermal line traversed by the Northern Pacific. Another 
branch, not so far north, feeling for the heart of the Badger State. 
Another pushing lower down the Mississippi — all these make many con- 
nections, and tapping all the vast wheat regions of Minnesota, Wisconsin, 
Iowa, and all the regions this side of sunset. There is that elegant road, 
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, running out a goodly number of 



HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 87 

branches, and reaping the great fields this side of the Missouri River. 
I can only mention the Chicago, Alton & St. Louis, our Illinois Central, 
described elsewhere, and the Chicago & Rock Island. Further around 
we come to the lines connecting us with all the eastern cities. The 
Chicago, Indianapolis & St. Louis, the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & 
Chicago, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, and the Michigan Cen- 
tral and Great Western, give us many highwa3^s to the seaboard. Thus we 
reach the Mississippi at five points, from St. Paul to Cairo and the Gulf 
itself by two routes. We also reach Cincinnati and Baltimoi-e, and Pitts- 
burgh and Philadelphia, and New York. North and south run the water 
courses of the lakes and the rivers, broken just enough at this point to 
make a pass. Through this, from east to west, run the long lines that 
stretch from ocean to ocean. 

This is the neck of the glass, and the golden sands of commerce 
must pass into our hands. Altogether we have more than 10,000 miles 
of railroad, directly tributary to this city, seeking to unload their wealth 
in our coifers. All these roads have come themselves by the infallible 
instinct of capital. Not a dollar was ever given by the city to secure 
one of them, and only a small per cent, of stock taken originally by her 
citizens, and that taken simply as an investment. Coming in the natural 
order of events, they will not be easily diverted. 

There is still another showing to all this. The connection between 
New York and San Francisco is by the middle route. This passes inevit- 
ably through Chicago. St. Louis wants the Southern Pacific or Kansas 
Pacific, and pushes it out through Denver, and so on up to Cheyenne. 
But before the road is fairly under way, the Chicago roads shove out to 
Kansas City, making even the Kansas Pacific a feeder, and actually leav- 
ing St. Louis out in the cold. It is not too much to expect that Dakota, 
Montana, and Washington Territory will find their great market in Chi- 
cago. 

But these are not all. Perhaps I had better notice here the ten or 
fifteen new roads that have just entered, or are just entering, our city. 
Their names are all that is necessary to give. Chicago & St. Paul, look- 
ing up the Red River country to the British possessions ; the Chicago, 
Atlantic & Pacific ; the Chicago, Decatur & State Line ; the Baltimore & 
Ohio; the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes; the Chicago & LaSalle Rail- 
road ; the Chicago, Pittsburgh & Cincinnati ; the Chicago and Canada 
Southern ; the Chicago and Illinois River Railroad. These, with their 
connections, and with the new connections of the old roads, already in 
process of erection, give to Chicago not less than 10,000 miles of new 
tributaries from the richest land on the continent. Thus there will be 
added to the reserve power, to the capital within reach of this city, not 
less than 11,000,000,000. 



38 HISTOKT OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 

Add to all this transporting power the ships that sail one every nine 
minutes of the business hours of the season of navigation ; add, also, the 
canal boats that leave one every five minutes during the same time — and 
you will see something of the business of the city. 

THE COMMERCE OF THIS CITY 

has been leaping along to keep pace with the growth of the country 
around us. In 1852, our commerce reached the hopeful sum of 
120,000,000. In 1870 it reached $400,000,000. In 1871 it was pushed 
up above $450,000,000. And in 1875 it touched nearly double that. 

One-half of our imported goods come directly to Chicago. Grain 
enough is exported directly from our docks to the old world to employ a 
semi-weekly line of steamers of 3,000 tons capacity. This branch is 
not likely to be greatly developed. Even after the great Welland Canal 
is completed we shall have only fourteen feet of water. The great ocean 
vessels will continue to control the trade. 

The banking capital of Chicago is $24,431,000. Total exchange in 
1875, $659,000,000. Her wholesale business in 1875 was $294,000,000. 
The rate of taxes is less than in any other great city. 

The schools of Chicago are unsurpassed in America. Out of a popu- 
lation of 300,000 there were only 186 persons between the ages of six 
and twenty-one unable to read. This is the best known record. 

In 1831 the mail system was condensed into a half-breed, who went 
on foot to Niles, Mich., once in two weeks, and brought back what papers 
and news he could find. As late as 1846 there was often only one mail 
a week. A post-office was established in Chicago in 1833, and the post- 
master nailed up old boot-legs on one side of his shop to serve as boxes 
for the nabobs and literary men. 

It is an interesting fact in the growth of the young city that in the 
active life of the business men of that day the mail matter has grown to 
a daily average of over 6,500 pounds. It speaks equally well for the 
intelligence of the people and the commercial importance of the place, 
that the mail matter distributed to the territory immediately tributary to 
Chicago is seven times greater than that distributed to the territory 
immediately tributary to St. Louis. 

The improvements that have characterized the city are as startling 
as the city itself. In 1831, Mark Beaubien established a ferry over the 
river, and put himself under bonds to carry aL. the citizens free for the 
privilege of charging strangers. Now there are twenty-four large bridges 
and two tunnels. 

In 1833 the government expended $30,000 on the harbor. Then 
commenced that series of manoeuvers with the river that has made it one 



HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 39 

of the world's curiosities. It used to wind around in the lower end of 
the town, and make its way rippling over the sand into the lake at the 
foot of Madison street. They took it up and put it down where it now 
is. It was a narrow stream, so narrow that even moderately small crafts 
had to go up through the willows and cat's tails to the point near Lake 
street bridge, and back up one of the branches to get room enough in 
which to turn around. 

In 1844 the quagmires in the streets were first pontooned by plank 
roads, which acted in wet weather as public squirt-guns. Keeping you 
out of the mud, they compromised by squirting the mud over you. The 
wooden-block pavements came to Chicago in 1857. In 1840 water was 
delivered by peddlers in carts or by hand. Then a twenty-five horse- 
power engine pushed it through hollow or bored logs along the streets 
till 1854, when it was introduced into the houses by new works. The 
first fire-engine was used in 1835, and the first steam fire-engine in 1859. 
Gas was utilized for lighting the city in 1850. The Young Men's Chris- 
tian Association was organized in 1858, and horse railroads carried them 
to their work in 1859. The museum was opened in 1863. The alarm 
telegraph adopted in 1864. The opera-house built in 1865. The city 
grew from 560 acres in 1833 to 23,000 in 1869. In 1834, the taxes 
amounted to $48.90, and the trustees of the town borrowed #60 more for 
opening and improving streets. In 1835, the legislature authorized a loan 
of $2,000, and the treasurer and street commissioners resigned rather than 
plunge the town into such a gulf. 

Now the city embraces 36 square miles of territory, and has 80 miles 
of water front, besides the outside harbor of refuge, of 400 acres, inclosed 
by a crib sea-wall. One-third of the city has been raised up an average 
of eight feet, giving good pitch to the 263 miles of sewerage. The water 
of the city is above all competition. It is received through two tunnels 
extending to a crib in the lake two miles from shore. The closest analy- 
sis fails to detect any impurities, and, received 35 feet below the surface, 
it is always clear and cold. The first tunnel is five feet two inches in 
diameter and two miles long, and can deliver 50,000,000 of gallons per 
day. The second tunnel is seven feet in diameter and six miles long, 
running four miles under the city, and can deliver 100,000,000 of gal- 
lons per day. This water is distributed through 410 miles of water- 
mains. 

The three grand engineering exploits of the city are : First, lifting 
the city up on jack-screws, whole squares at a time, without interrupting 
the business, thus giving us good drainage ; second, running the tunnels 
under the lake, giving us the best water in the world ; and third, the 
turning the current of the river in its own channel, delivering us from the 
old abominations, and making decency possible. They redound about 



40 HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 

equally to the credit of the engineering, to the energy of the people, and 
to the health of the city. 

That which really constitutes the city, its indescribable spirit, its soul, 
the way it lights up in every feature in the hour of action, has not been 
touched. In meeting strangers, one is often surprised how some homely 
women marrj^ so well. Their forms are bad, their gait uneven and awk- 
ward, their complexion is dull, their features are misshapen and mismatch- 
ed, and when we see them there is no beauty that we should desire them. 
But when once they are aroused on some subject, they put on new pro- 
portions. They light up into great power. The real person comes out 
from its unseemly ambush, and captures us at will. They have power. 
They have ability to cause things to come to pass. We no longer wonder 
why they are in such high demand. So it is with our city. 

There is no grand scenery except the two seas, one of water, the 
other of prairie. Nevertheless, there is a spirit about it, a push, a breadth, 
a power, that soon makes it a place never to be forsaken. One soon 
ceases to believe in impossibilities. Balaams are the only prophets that are 
disappointed. The bottom that has been on the point of falling out has 
been there so long that it has grown fast. It can not fall out. It has all 
the capital of the world itching to get inside the corporation. 

The two great laws that govern the growth and size of cities are, 
first, the amount of territory for which they are the distributing and 
receiving points ; second, the number of medium or moderate dealers that 
do this distributing. Monopolists build up themselves, not the cities. 
They neither eat, wear, nor live in proportion to their business. Both 
these laws help Chicago. 

The tide of trade is eastward — not up or down the map, but across 
the map. The lake runs up a wingdam for 500 miles to gather in the 
business. Commerce can not ferry up there for seven months in the year, 
and the facilities for seven months can do the work for twelve. Then the 
great region west of us is nearly all good, productive land. Dropping 
south into the trail of St. Louis, you fall into vast deserts and rocky dis- 
tricts, useful in holding the world together. St. Louis and Cincinnati, 
instead of rivaling and hurting Chicago, are her greatest sureties of 
dominion. They are far enough away to give sea-room, — farther off than 
Paris is from London, — and yet they are near enough to prevent the 
springing up of any other great city between them. 

St. Louis will be helped by the opening of the Mississippi, but also 
hurt. That will put New Orleans on her feet, and with a railroad running

fourth of the territory of this great republic. This strip of seacoast 
divides its margins between Portland, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, 
Baltimore and Savannah, or some other great port to be created for the

treasures into her lap. On a bed of coal that can run all the machinery 
of the world for 500 centuries ; in a garden that can feed the race by the 
thousand years; at the head of the lakes that give her a temperature as a 
summer resort equaled by no great city in the land ; with a climate that 
insures the health of her citizens ; surrounded by all the great deposits 
of natural wealth in mines aad forests and herds, Chicago is the wonder 
of to-day, and will be the city of the future. 

MASSACRE AT FORT DEARBORN. 

During the war of 1812, Fort Dearborn became the theater of stirring 
events. The garrison consisted of fifty-four men under command of 
Captain Nathan Heald, assisted by Lieutenant Helm (son-in-law of Mrs. 
Kinzie) and Ensign Ronan. Dr. Voorhees was surgeon. The only resi- 
dents a.t the post at that time were the wives of Captain Heald and Lieu- 
tenant Helm, and a few of the soldiers, Mr. Kinzie and his family, and 
a few Canadian voyageurs, with their wives and children. The soldiers 
and Mr. Kinzie were on most friendly terms with the Pottawattamies 
and Winnebagos, the principal tribes around them, but they could not 
win them from their attachment t,o the British. 

One evening in April, 1812, Mr. Kinzie sat playing on his violin and 
his children were dancing to the music, when Mrs. Kinzie came rushing 
into the house, pale with terror, and exclaiming : " The Indians ! the 
Indians!" "What? Where?" eagerly inquired Mr. Kinzie. "Up 
at Lee's, killing and scalping," answered the frightened mother, who, 
when the alarm was given, was attending Mrs. Barnes (just confined) 
living not far off. Mr. Kinzie and his family crossed the river and took 
refuge in the fort, to which place Mrs. Barnes and her infant not a day 
old were safely conveyed. The rest of the inhabitants took shelter in the 
fort. This alarm was caused by a scalping party of Winnebagos, who 
hovered about the fort several days, when they disappeared, and for several 
weeks the inhabitants were undisturbed. 

On the 7th of August, 1812, General Hull, at Detroit, sent orders to 
Captain Heald to evacuate Fort Dearborn, and to distribute all the United 
States property to the Indians in the neighborhood — a most insane order. 
The Pottawattamie chief, who brought the dispatch, had more wisdom 
than the commanding general. He advised Captain Heald not to make 
the distribution. Said he : " Leave the fort and stores as they are, and 
let the Indians make distribution for themselves ; and while they are 
engaged in the business, the white people may escape to Fort Wayne." 



42 EISTOBY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 

Captain Heald lield a council with the Indians on the afternoon of 
the 12th, in which his officers refused to join, for they had been informed 
that treachery was designed — that the Indians intended to murder the 
whice xseople in the council, and then destroy those in the fort. Captain 
Heald, however, took the precaution to open a port-hole displaying a 
cannon pointing directly upon the council, and by that means saved 
his life. 

Mr. Kinzie, who knew the Indians weE, begged Captain Heald not 
to confide in their promises, nor distribute the arms and munitions among 
them, for it would only put power into their hands to destroy the whites. 
Acting upon this advice, Heald resolved to withhold the munitions of 
war ; and on the night of the 13th, after the distribution of the other 
property had been made, the powder, ball and liquors were thrown into 
the river, the muskets broken up and destroyed. 

Black Partridge, a friendly chief, came to Captain Heald, and said : 
" Linden birds have been singing in my ears to-day: be careful on the 
march you are going to take." On that dark night vigilant Indians had 
crept near the fort and discovered the destruction of their promised booty 
going on within. The next morning the powder was seen floating on the 
surface of the river. The savages were exasperated and made loud com- 
plaints and threats. 

On the following day when preparations were making to leave the 
fort, and all the inmates were deeply impressed with a sense of impend- 
ing danger, Capt. Wells, an uncle of Mrs. Heald, was discovered upon 
the Indian trail among the sand-hills on the borders of the lake, not far 
distant, with a band of mounted Miamis, of whose tribe he was chief, 
having been adopted by the famous Miami warrior, Little Turtle. When 
news of Hull's surrender reached Fort Wayne, he had started with this 
force to assist Heald in defending Fort Dearborn. He was too late. 
Every means for its defense had been destroyed the night before, and 
arrangements were made for leaving the fort on the morning of the 15th. 

It was a warm bright morning in the middle of August. Indications 
were positive that the savages intended to murder the white people ; and 
when they moved out of the southern gate of the fort, the march was 
like a funeral procession. The band, feeling the solemnity of the occa- 
sion, struck up the Dead March in Saul. 

Capt. Wells, who had blackened his face with gun-powder in token 
of his fate, took the lead with his band of Miamis, followed by Capt. 
Heald, with his wife by his side on horseback. Mr. Kinzie hoped by his 
personal influence to avert the impending blow, and therefore accompanied 
them, leaving his family in a boat in charge of a friendly Indian, to be 
taken to his trading station at the site of Niles, Michigan, in the event of 
his death. 



HISTOKY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 43 

The procession moved slowly along the lake shore till they reached 
the sand-hills between the prairie and the beach, when the Pottawattamie 
escort, under the leadership of Blackbird, filed to the right, placing those 
hills between them and the white people. Wells, with his Miamis, had 
kept in the advance. They suddenly came rushing back, Wells exclaim- 
ing, " They are about to attack us ; form instantly." These words were 
quickly followed by a storm of bullets, which came whistling over the 
little hills which the treacherous savages had made the covert for their 
murderous attack. The white troops charged upon the Indians, drove 
them back to the prairie, and then the battle was waged between fifty- 
four soldiers, twelve civilians and three or four women (the cowardly 
Miamis having fled at the outset) against five hundred Indian warriors. 
The white people, hopeless, resolved to sell their lives as dearly as possible. 
Ensign Ronan wielded his weapon vigorously, even after falling upon his 
knees weak from the loss of blood. Capt. Wells, who was by the side of 
his niece, Mrs. Heald, when the conflict began, behaved with the greatest 
coolness and courage. He said to her, " We have not the slightest chance 
for life. We must part to meet no more in this world. God bless you." 
And then he dashed forward. Seeing a young warrior, painted like a 
demon, climb into a wagon in which were twelve children, and tomahawk 
them all, he cried out, unmindful of his personal danger, " If that is your 
game, butchering women and children, I will kill too." He spurred his 
horse towards the -Indian camp, where they had left their squaws and 
papooses, hotly pursued by swift-footed young warriors, who sent bullets 
whistling after him. One of these killed his horse and wounded him 
severely in the leg. With a yell the young braves rushed to make him 
their prisoner and reserve him for torture. He resolved not to be made 
a captive, and by the use of the most provoking epithets tried to induce 
them to kill him instantly. He called a fiery young chief a squaiv, when 
the enraged warrior killed Wells instantly with his tomahawk, jumped 
upon his body, cut out his heart, and ate a portion of the warm morsel 
with savage delight ! 

In this fearful combat women bore a conspicuous part. Mrs. Heald 
was an excellent equestrian and an expert in the use of the rifle. She 
fought the savages bravely, receiving several severe wounds. Though 
faint from the loss of blood, she managed to keep her saddle. A savage 
raised his tomahawk to kill her, when she looked him full in the face, 
and with a sweet smile and in a gentle voice said, in his own language, 
" Surely you will not kill a squaw ! " The arm of the savage fell, and 
the life of the heroic woman was saved. 

Mrs. Helm, the step-daughter of Mr. Kinzie, had an encounter with 
a stout Indian, who attempted to tomahawk her. Springing to one side, 
she received the glancing blow on her shoulder, and at the same instant 



44 HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 

seized the savage round the neck with her arms and endeavored to get 
hold of his scalping knife, which hung in a sheath at his breast. While 
she was thus struggling she was dragged from her antagonist by another 
powerful Indian, who bore her, in spite of her struggles, to the margin 
of the lake and plunged her in. To her astonishment she was held by 
him so that she would not drown, and she soon perceived that she was 
in the hands of the friendly Black Partridge, who had saved her life. 

The wife of Sergeant Holt, a large and powerful woman, behaved as 
bravely as an Amazon. She rode a fine, high-spirited horse, which the 
Indians coveted, and several of them attacked her with the butts of their 
guns, for the purpose of dismounting her ; but she used the sword which 
she had snatched from her disabled husband so skilKuUy that she foiled 
them ; and, suddenly wheeling her horse, she dashed over the prairie, 
followed by the savages shouting. " The brave woman ! the brave woman ! 
Don't hurt her ! " They finally overtook her, and while she was fighting 
them in front, a powerful savage came up behind her, seized her by the 
neck and dragged her to the ground. Horse and woman were made 
captives. Mrs. Holt was a long time a captive among the Indians, but 
was afterwards ransomed. 

In this sharp conflict two-thirds of the white people were slain and 
wounded, and all their horses, baggage and provision were lost. Only 
twenty-eight straggling men now remained to fight five hundred Indians 
rendered furious hy the sight of blood. They succeeded in breaking 
through the ranks of the murderers and gaining a slight eminence on the 
prairie near the Oak Woods. The Indians did not pursue, but gathered 
on their flanks, while the chiefs held a consultation on the sand-hills, and 
showed signs of willingness to parley. It would have been madness on 
the part of the whites to renew the fight ; and so Capt. Heald went for- 
ward and met Blackbird on the open prairie, where terms of surrender 
were soon agreed upon. It was arranged that the white people should 
give up their arms to Blackbird, and that the survivors should become 
prisoners of war, to be exchanged for ransoms as soon as practicable. 
With this understanding captives and captors started for the Indian 
camp near the fort, to which Mrs. Helm had -been taken bleeding and 
suffering by Black Partridge, and had met her step-father and learned 
that her husband was safe. 

A new scene of horror was now opened at the Indian camp. The 
wounded, not being included in the terms of surrender, as it was inter- 
preted by the Indians, and the British general. Proctor, having offered a 
liberal bounty for American scalps, delivered at Maiden, nearly all the 
wounded men were killed and scalped, and the price of the trophies was 
afterwards paid by the British government.

MILLERS. 

The owner or occupant of every public grist mill in this state shall 
grind all grain brought to his mill in its turn. The toll for both steam 
and water mills, is, for grinding and bolting wheat, rye, or other grain, one 
eighth part; for grinding Indian corn, oats, barley and buckwheat not 
required to be bolted, one seventh fart; for grinding malt, and chopping all 
kinds of grain, one eighth part. It is the duty of every miller when his 
mill is in repair, to aid and assist in loading and unloading all grain brought 
to him to be ground, and he is also required to keep an accurate half 
bushel measure, and an accurate set of toll dishes or scales for weighing 
the grain. The penalty for neglect or refusal to comply with the law is 
$5, to the use of any person to sue for the same, to be recovered before 
any justice of the peace of the county where penalty is incurred. Millers 
are accountable for the safe keeping of all grain left in his mill for the 
purpose of being ground, with bags or casks containing same (except it 
results from unavoidable accidents), provided that such bags or casks are 
distinctly marked with the initial letters of the owner's name. 

MARKS AND BRANDS. 

Owners of cattle, horses, hogs, sheep or goats may have one ear mark 
and one brand, but which shall be different from his neighbor's, and may 
be recorded by the county clerk of the county in which such property is 
kept. The fee for such record is fifteen cents. The record of such shall 
be open to examination free of charge. In cases of disputes as to marks 
or brands, such record is prima facie evidence. Owners of cattle, horses, 
hogs, sheep or goats that may have been branded by the former owner. 



54 ABSTRACT OP ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 

may be re-brandeH in presence of one or more of his neighbors, who shall 
certify to the facts of the marking or branding being done, when done, 
and in what brand or mark they were re-branded or re-marked, which 
certificate may also be recorded as before stated. 

ADOPTION OF CHILDREN. 

Children may be adopted by any resident of this state, by filing a 
petition in the Circuit or County Court of the county in which he resides, 
asking leave to do so, and if desired may ask that the name of the child 
be changed. Such petition, if made by a person having a husband or 
wife, will not be granted, unless the husband or wife joins therein, as the 
adoption must be by them jointly. 

The petition shall state name, sex, and age of the child, and the new 
name, if it is desired to change the name. Also the name and residence 
of the parents of the child, if known, and of the guardian, if any, and 
whether the parents or guardians consent to the adoption. 

The court must find, before granting decree, that the parents of the 
child, or the survivors of them, have deserted his or her family or such 
child for one year next preceding the application, or if neither are living, 
the guardian ; if no guardian, the next of kin in this state capable of giving 
consent, has had notice of the presentation of the petition and consents 
to such adoption. If the child is of the age of fourteen years or upwards, 
the adoption can not be made without its consent. 

SURVEYORS AND SURVEYS. 

There is in every county elected a surveyor known as county sur- 
veyor, who has power to appoint deputies, for whose official acts he is 
responsible. It is the duty of the county surveyor, either by himself or 
his deputy, to make all surveys that he may be called upon to make within 
his county as soon as may be after application is made. The necessary 
chainmen and other assistance must be employed by the person requiring 
the same to be done, and to be by him paid, unless otherwise agreed ; but 
the chainmen must be disinterested persons and approved by the surveyor 
and sworn by him to measure justly and impartially. 

The County Board in each county is required by law to provide a copy 
of the United States field notes and plats of their surveys of the lands 
in the county to be kept in the recorder's office subject to examination 
by the public, and the county surveyor is required to make his surveys 
in conformity to said notes, plats and the laws of the United States gov- 
erning such matters. The surveyor is also required to keep a record 
of all surveys made by him, which shall be subject to inspection by any 
one interested, and shall be delivered up to his successor in office. A 



ABSTKACT OP ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 55 

certified copy of the said surveyor's record shall be prima facie evidence 
of its contents. 

The fees of county surveyors are six dollars per day. The county 
surveyor is also ex officio inspector of mines, and as such, assisted by some 
practical miner selected by him, shall once each year inspect all the 
mines in the county, for which they shall each receive such compensa- 
tion as may be fixed by the County Board, not exceeding |5 a day, to 
be paid out of the county treasury. 

ROAOS. 

Where practicable from the nature of the ground, persons traveling 
in any kind of vehicle, must turn to the right of the center of the road, so 
as to permit each carriage to pass without interfering with each other. 
The penalty for a violation of this provision is $5 for every offense, to 
be recovered by the party injured; but to recover, there must have 
occurred some injury to person or property resulting from the violation. 
The owners of any carriage traveling upon any road in this State for the 
conveyance of passengers who shall employ or continue in his employment 
as driver any person who is addicted to drunkenness, or the excessive use of 
spiritous liquors, after he has had notice of the same, shall forfeit, at the 
rate of |5 per day, and if an}^ driver while actually engaged in driving 
any such carriage, shall be guilty of intoxication to such a degree as to 
endanger the safety of passengers, it shall be the duty of the owner, on 
receiving ivritten notice of the faf^t, signed by one of the passengers, and 
certified by him on oath, forthwith to discharge such driver. If such ownei' 
shall have such driver in his employ within three months after such notice, 
he is liable for $5 per day for the time he shall keep said driver in his 
employment after receiving such notice. 

Persons driving any carriage on any public highway are prohibited 
from running their horses upon any occasion under a penalty of a fine not 
exceeding $10, or imprisonment not exceeding sixty days, at the discre- 
tion of the court. Horses attached to any carriage used to convey passen- 
gers for hire must be properly hitched or the lines placed in the hands of 
some other person before the driver leaves them for any purpose. For 
violation of this provision each driver shall forfeit twenty dollars, to be 
recovered by action, to be commenced within six months. It is under- 
stood by the term carriage herein to mean any carriage or vehicle used 
for the transportation of passengers or goods or either of them. 

The commissioners of highways in the different tov/ns have the care 
and superintendence of highways and bridges therein. They have all 
the powers necessary to lay out, vacate, regulate and repair all roads? 
build and repair bridges, divide their respective towns into as many road 
districts as they shall think convenient. This is to be done annually, 



56 ABSTBACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 

and ten days before the annual town meeting. In addition to the above, 
it is their duty to ere'ct and keep in repair at the forks or crossing-place 
of the most important roads post and guide boards with plain inscrip- 
tions, giving directions and distances to the most noted places to which 
such road may lead ; also to make provisions to prevent thistles, burdock, 
and cockle burrs, mustard, yellow dock, Indian mallow, and jessamine 
weed from seeding, and to extirpate the same as far as practicable, and 
to prevent all rank growth of vegetation on the public highways, so far 
as the same may obstruct public travel, and it is in their discretion to 
erect watering places for public use for watering teams at such points 
as may be deemed advisable. Every able-bodied male inhabitant, being 
above the age of twenty-one years, and under the age of fifty, excepting 
paupers, idiots, lunatics, trustees of schools and school directors, and such 
others as are exempt by law, is required to labor on highways in their 
respective road districts, not less than one or more than three days in 
each and every year. Three days' notice must be given by the overseer 
of the time and place he requires such road labor to be done. The labor 
must be performed in the road district in which the person resides. Any 
person may commute for such labor by paying at the rate of fl.oO per 
day, if done within the three days' notice, but after that time the rate is 
$2 per day. 

Any person liable for work on highways who has been assessed two 
days or more and has not commuted, may be required to furnish team, oi 
a cart, wagon or plow, with a pair of horses or oxen and a man to manage 
them, for which he will be entitled to two days for each day's work. 
Eight hours is a day's work on the roads, and there is a penalty of twenty- 
five cents an hour against any person or substitute who shall neglect or 
refuse to perform. Any person remaining idle, or does not work faithfully 
or hinders others from doing so, forfeits to the town $2. 

Every person assessed and duly notified, who has not commxited and 
refuses or neglects to appear, shall forfeit to the town for everi/ day's 
refusal or neglect, the sum of $2 ; if he was required to furnish a team, 
carriage, man or implement, and neglects or refuses to comply, he is liable 
to the following fines : 

First. For wholly failing to comply, $4 each day. 

Second. For omitting to furnish a pair of horses or oxen, fl.50 each 
day. 

Third. For omitting to furnish a man to manage team, §2 each day. 

Fourth. For omitting to furnish a wagon, cart or plow, 75 cents 
each day. 

The Commissioners estimate and assess the highwaj^ labor and road 
tax. The road tax on real and personal property can not exceed forty 
cents on each hundred dollars' worth. The labor or road tax in Adllages, 



ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 57 

towns or cities, is paid over to the corporate authorities of such, for the 
improvement of streets, roads and bridges witliin their hmits. Commis- 
sioners' compensation 11.50 per day. The Treasurer, who is one of their 
number, is entitled to 2 per cent, on all moneys he may receive and pay 
out. 

Overseers. Their duties are to repair and keep in order the high- 
ways in their districts ; to warn persons to work out their road tax at 
such time and place as thej^ think proper ; to collect fines and commuta- 
tion money, and execute all lawful orders of the Commissioners of High- 
ways ; also make list, within sixteen days after their election, of the names 
of all inhabitants in his road district liable to work on highways. For 
refusal to perform any of his duties, he is liable to a fine of flO. The 
compensation of overseers is $1.50 a day, the number of days to be 
audited by the Highway Commissioners. 

As all township and county officers are familiar with their duties, it 
is only intended to give the points of the law that the public should be 
familiar with. The manner of laying out, altering or vacating roads, etc., 
will not be here stated, as it would require more space than is contem- 
plated in a work of this kind. It is sufficient to state that, the first step 
is by petition, addressed to the Commissioners, setting out what is prayed 
for, giving the names of the owners of lands if known, if not known so 
state, over which the road is to pass, giving the general course, its place 
of beginning, and where it terminates. It requires not less than twelve 
freeholders residing within three miles of the road who shall sign the 
petition. Public roads must not be less than fifty feet wide, nor more 
than sixty feet wide. Roads not exceeding two miles in length, if peti- 
tioned for, may be laid out, not less than forty feet. Private roads 
for private and public use, may be laid out of the width of three rods, on 
petition of the person directly interested ; the damage occasioned thereby 
shall be paid by the premises benefited thereby, and before the road is 
opened. If not opened in two years, the order shall be considered 
rescinded. Commissioners in their discretion may permit persons who 
live on or have private roads, to work out their road tax thereon. Public 
roads must be opened in five days from date of filing order of location, 
or be deemed vacated. 

DRAINAGE. 

Whenever one or more owners or occupants of land desire to construct 
a drain or ditch across the land of others for agricultural or sanitary pur- 
poses, the proceedings are as follows : 

1st. File a petition with the clerh of the town hoard of auditors in 
counties where there is township organization, or in counties not so 
organized with the clerk of the County Court, stating the necessity of the 



58 ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATU LAWS. 

same, its starting point, route and terminus ; and if it shall be deemed 
necessary for successful drainage that a levee or other work be constructed, 
a general description of the same shall be made. 

2d. After filing, tivo weeks' notice must be given by posting notices 
in three of the most public places in such township through which the 
drain, ditch or other work is proposed to be constructed ; and also, by 
publishing a copy thereof in some newspaper published in the county in 
which petition is filed, at least once each week for two successive weeks. 
The notice must state when and before what board such petition is filed, 
the starting point, route, terminus and description of the proposed work. 
On receipt of the petition by the clerk of either board as before men- 
tioned, it is his duty to immediately give notice to the board of which he 
is clerk, of the fact, and that a meeting of the board will be held on a day 
to be fixed not later than sixty days after the filing of said petition, to 
consider the prayer of the same ; and it is further the duty of the clerk, 
to publish a notice of the filing of the petition and the meeting of the 
board to consider it, by posting the same in the three most public places 
in the township or county. On the hearing, all parties may contest the 
matter, and if it shall appear to the board that the work contemplated is 
necessary, or is useful for the drainage of the land for agricultural and 
sanitary purposes, they shall so find and shall file their petition in the 
County Court, reciting the original petition and stating their finding, and 
pray that the costs of the improvement be assessed, and for that purpose 
three commissioners be appointed to lay out and construct the work. The 
costs of the hearing before the town board is to be paid by the petitioners. 
After commissioners are appointed, they organize and proceed to examine 
the work ; and if they find the benefits greater than the cost and expense 
of the work, then it is their duty to have the surveyor's plans and speci- 
fications made, and when done report the same to the court, before which 
parties can be heard prior to confirmation. The commissioners are not 
confined to the route or plan of the petition, but may change the same. 
After report of commissioners is confirmed, then a jury assess the damages 
and benefits against the land damaged or benefited. 

As it is only contemplated in a work of this kind to give an abstract 
of the laws, and as the parties who have in charge the execution of the 
further proceedings are likely to be familiar with the requirements of the 
statute, the necessary details are not here inserted. 

PAUPERS. 

Every poor person who shall be unable to earn a livelihood in conse- 
quence of any hodily infirmity, idiocy, lunacy or unavoidable cause, shall 
be supported by the father, grand-father, mother, grand-mother, children, 
grand-children, brothers or sisters of such poor person, if they or either 



ABSTKACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 59 

of them be of sufficient ability ; but if any of such dependent class shall 
have become so from Cntemperance, or other bad conduct, they shall not be 
entitled to support from any relation except parent or child. 

The children shall first be called on to support their parents, if they 
are able ; but if not, the parents of such poor person shall then be called 
on, if of sufficient ability ; and if there be no parents or children able, 
then the brothers and sisters of such dependent person shall be called 
upon; and if there be no brothers or sisters of sufficient ability, the 
grand-children of such person shall next be called on ; and if they are 
not able, then the grand-parents. Married females, while their husbands 
live, shall not be liable to contribute for the support of their poor relations 
except out of their separate property. It is the duty of the state's 
(county) attorney, to make complaint to the County Court of his county 
against all the relatives of such paupers in this state liable to his support 
and prosecute the same. In ease the state's attorney neglects, or refuses, to 
complain in such cases, then it is the duty of the overseer of the poor to 
do so. The person called upon to contribute shall have at least ten days' 
notice of such application by summons. The court has the power to 
determine the kind of support, depending upon the circumstances of the 
parties, and may also order two or more of the different degrees to main- 
tain such poor person, and prescribe the proportion of each, according to 
their ability. The court may specify the time for which the relative shall 
contribute — in fact has control over the entire subject matter, with power 
to enforce its orders. Every county (except those in which the poor are 
supported by the towns, and in such cases the towns are liable) is required 
to relieve and support all poor and indigent persons laivfully resident 
therein. Residence means the actual residence of the party, or the place 
where he was employed ; or in case he was in no employment, then it 
shall be the place where he made his home. When any person becomes 
chargeable as a pauper in any county or town who did not reside at the 
commencement of six months immediately preceding his becoming so, 
but did at that time reside in some other county or town in this state, 
then the county or town, as the case may be, becomes liable for the expense 
of taking care of such person until removed, and it is the duty of the 
overseer to notify the proper authorities of the fact. If any person shall 
bring and leave any pauper in any county in this state where such pauper 
had no legal residence, knowing him to be such, he is liable to a fine of 
flOO. In counties under township organization, the supervisors in each 
town are ex-officio overseers of the poor. The overseers of the poor act 
under the directions of the County Board in taking care of the poor and 
granting of temporary relief; also, providing for non-resident persons not 
paupers who may be taken sick and not able to pay their way, and iu case 
of death cause such person to be decently buried. 



60 ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 

FENCES. 

In counties under township organization, the town assessor and com- 
missioner of highways are the fence-viewers in their respective towns.. 
In other counties the County Board appoints three in each precinct annu- 
ally. A lawful fence is four and one-half feet high, in good repair, con- 
sisting of rails, timber, boards, stone, hedges, or whatever the fence- 
viewers of the town or precinct where the same shall lie, shall consider 
equivalent thereto, but in counties under township organization the annual 
town meeting may establish any other kind of fence as such, or the County 
Board in other counties may do the same. Division fences shall be made 
and maintained in just proportion by the adjoining owners, except when 
the owner shall choose to let his land lie open, but after a division fence is 
built by agreement or otherwise, neither party can remove his part of such 
fence so long as he may crop or use such land for farm purposes, or without 
giving the other party one year's notice in writing of his intention to remove 
his portion. When any person shall enclose his land upon the enclosure 
of another, he shall refund the owner of the adjoining lands a just pro- 
portion of the value at that time of such fence. The value of fence and 
the just proportion to be paid or built and maintained by each is to be 
ascertained by two fence-viewers in the town or precinct. Such fence- 
viewers have power to settle all disputes between different owners as to 
fences built or to be built, as well as to repairs to be made. Each party 
chooses one of the viewers, but if the other party neglects, after eight 
days' notice in writing, to make his choice, then the other party may 
select both. It is sufficient to notify the tenant or party in possession, 
when the owner is not a resident of the town or precinct. The two 
fence-viewers chosen, after viewing the premises, shall hear the state- 
ments of the parties , in case they can't agree, they shall select another 
fence-viewer to act with them, and the decision of any two of them is 
final. The decision must be reduced to writing, and should plainly set 
out description of fence and all matters settled by them, and must be 
filed in the office of the town clerk in counties under township organiza- 
tion, and in other counties with the county clerk. 

Where any person is liable to contribute to the erection or the 
repairing of a division fence, neglects or refuses so to do, the party 
injured, after giving sixty days notice in writing when a fence is to be 
erected, or ten days w.hen it is only repairs, may proceed to have the 
work done at the expense of the party whose duty it is to do it, to be 
recovered from him with costs of suit, and the party so neglecting shall 
also be liable to the party injured for all damages accruing from such 
neglect or refusal, to be determined b}' any two fence-viewers selected 
as before provided, the appraisement to be reduced to writing and signed. 




(deceased) 



ABSTBACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 61 

Where a pevson shall conclude to remove his part of a division fence, 
and let his land lie open, and having given the year's notice required, the 
adjoining owner may cause the value of said fence to be ascertained by 
fence-vievirers as before provided, and on payment or tender of the 
amount of such valuation to the owner, it shall prevent the removal. A 
party removing a division fence without notice is liable for the damages 
accruing thereby. 

Where a fence has been built on the land of another through mis- 
take, the owner may enter upon such premises and remove his fence and 
material within six months after the division line has been ascertained. 
Where the material to build such a fence has been taken from the land 
on which it was built, then before it can be removed, the person claiming 
must first pay for such material to the owner of the land from which it 
was taken, nor shall such a fence be removed at a time when the removal 
will throw open or expose the crops of the other party ; a reasonable 
time must be given beyond the .six months to remove crops. 

The compensation of fence-viewers is one dollar and fifty cents a 
day each, to be paid in the first instance by the party calling them, but 
in the end all expenses, including amount charged by the fence-viewers, 
must be paid equally bj'' the parties, except in cases where a party neglects 
or refuses to make or maintain a just proportion of a division fence, when 
the party in default shall pay them. 

DAMAGES FROM TRESPASS. 

Where stock of any kind breaks into any person's enclosure, the 
fence being good and sufficient, the owner is liable for the damage done ; 
but where the damage is done by stock running at large, contrary to law, 
the owner is liable where there is not such a fence. Where stock is 
found trespassing on the enclosure of another as aforesaid, the owner oi 
occupier of the premises may ta"ke possession of such stock and keep the 
same until damages, with reasonable charges for keeping and feeding and 
all costs of suit, are paid. Any person taking or rescuins- such ''feuock so 
held without his consent, shall be liable to a fineraf" not less than three 
nor more than five dollars for each Anin .„i" rescued, to be recovered by 
suit before a justice of the,,peace for the use of the school fund. Within 
twenty-four hours after taking such animal into his possession, the per- 
son taking it up must give notice of the fact to the owner, if known, or 
if unknown, notices must be posted in some public place near the premises. 

LANDLORD AND TENANT. 

The owner of lands, or his legal representatives, can sue for and 
recover rent therefor, in any of the following eases : 

First. When rent is due and in arrears on a lease for life or lives. 
5 



62 ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 

Second. When lands are held and occupied by any person without 
any special agreement for rent. 

Third. When possession is obtained under an agreement, written 
or verbal, for the purchase of the premises and before deed given, the 
right to possession is terminated by forfeiture on con-compliance with the 
agreement, and possession is wrongfully refused or neglected to be given 
upon demand made in writing by the party entitled thereto. Provided 
that all payments made hy the vendee or his representatives or assigns, 
may be set off against the rent. 

Fourth. When land has been sold upon a judgment or a decree of 
court, when the party to such judgment or decree, or person holding under 
him, wrongfully refuses, or neglects, to surrender possession of the same, 
after demand in writing by the person entitled to the possession. 

Fifth. When the lands have been sold upon a mortgage or trust 
deed, and the mortgagor or grantor or person holding under him, wrong- 
fully refuses or neglects to surrender possession of the same, after demand 
in writing by the person entitled to the possession. 

If any tenant, or any person who shall come into possession from or 
under or by collusion with such tenant, shall willfully hold over any lands, 
etc., after the expiration the term of their lease, and after demand made 
in writing for the possession thereof, is liable to pay double rent. A 
tenancy from year to year requires sixty days notice in writing, to termi- 
nate the same at the end of the year ; such notice can be given at any 
time within four months preceding the last sixty days of the year. 

A tenancy by the month, or less than a year, where the tenant holds 
over without any special agreement, the landlord may terminate the 
tenancy, by thirty days notice in writing. 

When rent is due, the landlord may serve a notice upon the tenant, 
stating that unless the rent is paid within not less than five days, his lease 
will be terminated ; if the rent is not paid, the landlord may consider the 
l^ftase ended. When default is made in any of the terms of a lease, it 
shall n^t be necessary to give more than ten days notice to quit or of the 
termination of suc'L tenancy ; and the same may be terminated on giving 
such notice to quit, at any oimc Of,}^ such default in any of the terms of 
such lease ; which notice may be substantially in the following form, viz: 

To , You are hereby notified that, in consequence of your default 

in (_here insert the character of the default), of the premises now occupied 
by you, being etc. (here describe the premises), I have elected to deter- 
mine your lease, and you are hereby notified to quit and deliver up pos- 
session of the same to me within ten days of this date (dated, etc.) 

The above to be signed by the lessor or his agent, and no other notice 
or demand of possession or termination of such tenancy is necessary. 

Demand may be made, or notice served, by delivering a written or 



ABSTRACT OP ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 63 

printed, or partly either, copy thereof to the tenant, or leaving the same 
with some person above the age of twelve years residing on or in posses- 
sion of the premises ; and in case no one is in the actual possession of the 
said premises, then by posting the same on the premises. When the 
tenancy is for a certain time, and the term expires by the terms of the 
lease, the tenant is then bound to surrender possession, and no notice 
to quit or demand of possession is necessary. 

Distress for reht. — In all cases of distress for rent, the landlord, by 
himself, his agent or attorney, may seize for rent any personal property of 
his tenant that may be found in the county where the tenant resides ; the 
property of any other person, even if found on the premises, is not 
liable. 

An inventory of the property levied upon, with a statement of the 
amount of rent claimed, should be at once filed with some justice of the 
peace, if not over $200 ; and if above that sum, with the clerk of a court 
of record of competent jurisdiction. Property may be released, by the 
party executing a satisfactory bond for double the amount. 

The landlord may distrain for rent, any time within six months after 
the expiration of the term of the lease, or when terminated. 

When rent is payable wholly or in part, in specific articles of pro- 
perty, or products of the premises, or labor, the landlord may distrain for 
the value of the same. 

Landlords have a lien upon the crops grown or growing upon the 
demised premises for the rent thereof, and also for the faithful performance 
of the terms of the lease. 

In all cases where the premises rented shall be sub-let, or the lease 
assigned, the landlord shall have the same right to enforce lien against 
such lessee or assignee, that he has against the tenant to whom the pre- 
mises were rented. 

When a tenant abandons or removes from the premises or any part 
thereof, the landlord, or his agent or attorney, may seize upon any grain 
or other crops grown or growing upon the premises, or part thereof so 
abandoned, whether the rent is due or not. If such grain, or other crops, 
or any part thereof, is not fully grown or matured, the landlord, or his 
agent or attorney, shall cause the same to be properly cultivated, harvested 
or gathered, and may sell the same, and from the proceeds pay all his 
labor, expenses and rent. The tenant may, before the sale of such pro- 
perty, redeem the same by tendering the rent and reasonable compensation 
for work done, or he may replevy the same. 

Exemption. — The same articles of personal property which are bylaw 
exempt from execution, except the crops as above stated, is also exempt 
from distress for rent.

LIENS. 

Any person who shall by contract, express or implied, or partly both, 
with the owner of any lot or tract of land, furnish labor or material, or 
services as an architect or superintendent, in building, altering, repairing 
or ornamenting any house or other building or appurtenance thereto on 
such lot, or upon any street or alley, and connected with\such improve- 
ments, shall have a lien upon the whole of such lot or tract of land, and 
upon such house or building and appurtenances, for the amount due to

the time for the completion of the work is heyond three years from the com- 
mencement thereof; or, if the time of payment is beyond one year from 
the time stipulated for the completion of the work, then no lien exists. 
If the contract is implied, then no lien exists, unless the work be done or 
material is furnished within one year from the commencement of the work 
or delivery of the materials. As between different creditors having liens, 
no preference is given to the one whose contract was first made ; but each 
shares pro-rata. Incumbrances existing on the lot or tract of the land at 
the time the contract is made, do not operate on the improvements, and 
are only preferred to the extent of the value of the land at the time of 
making the contract. The above lien can not be enforced unless suit is 
cornmenced within six months after the last payment for labor or materials 
shall have become due and payable. Sub-contractors, mechanics, workmen 
and other persons furnishing any material, or performing any labor for a 
contractor as before specified, have a lien to the extent of the amount due 
the contractor at the time the following notice is served upon the owner 
of the land who made the contract : 

To , You are hereby notified, that I have been employed by ■' 

(here state whether to labor or furnish material, and substantially the 
nature of the demand) upon your (here state in general terms description 
and situation of building), and that I shall hold the (building, or as the 
case may be), and your interest in the ground, liable for the amount that 

may (is or may become) due me on account thereof. Signature, 

Date, 

If there is a contract in writing between contractor and sub-contractor, 
a copy of it should be served with above notice, and said notice must be 
served within forty days from the completion of such sub-contract, if there 
is one ; if not, then from the time payment should have been made to the 
person performing the labor or furnishing the material. If the owner is 
not a resident of the county, or can not be found therein, then the above 
notice must be filed with the clerk of the Circuit Court, with his fee, fifty 
cents, and a copy of said notice must be published in a newspaper pub- 
lished iu the county, for four successive weeks. 



ABSTEACT OF ILLESTOIS STATE LAWS. 65 

When the owner or agent is notified as above, he can retain any 
money due the contractor sufficient to pay such claim ; if more than one 
claim, and not enough to pay all, they are to be paid pro rata. 

The owner has the right to demand in writing, a statement of the 
contractor, of what he owes for labor, etc., from time to time as the work 
progresses, and on his failure to comply, forfeits to the owner $50 for 
every offense. 

The liens referred to cover any and all estates, whether in fee for 
life, for years, or any other interest which the owner may have. 

To enforce the lien of sub-contractors, suit must be commenced within 
three months from the time of the performance of the sub-contract, or 
during the work or furnishing materials. 

Motel, inn and boarding-house keepers, have a lien upon the baggage 
and other valuables of their guests or boarders, brought into such hotel, 
inn or boarding-house, by their guests or boarders, for the proper charges 
due from such guests or boarders for their accommodation, board and 
lodgings, and such extras as are furnished at their request. 

Stable-keepers and other persons have a lien upon the horses, car- 
riages and harness kept by them, for the proper charges due for the keep- 
ing thereof and expenses bestowed thereon at the request of the owner 
or the person having the possession of the same. 

Agisters (persons who take care of cattle belonging to others), and 
persons keeping, yarding, feeding or pasturing domestic animals, shall 
have a lien upon the animals agistered, kept, yarded or fed, for the proper 
charges due for such service. 

All persons who may furnish any railroad corporation in this state 
with fuel, ties, material, supplies or any other article or thing necessary 
for the construction, maintenance, operation or repair of its road by con- 
tract, or may perform work or labor on the same, is entitled to be paid as 
part of the current expenses of the road, and have a lien upon all its pro- 
perty. Sub-contractors or laborers have also a lien. The conditions and 
limitations both as to contractors and sub-contractors, are about the same 
as herein stated as to general liens. 

DEFINITION OF COMMERCIAL TERMS.

placed before any denomination of money, and meant, as it means now, 
United States Currency. 

£ means pounds, English money. 

@ stands for at or to. lb for pound, and bbl. for barrel; ^ for per or 
by the. Thus, Butter sells at 20@30c f ft, and Flour at |8@12 ^ bbl.

66 ABSTRACT OP ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 

means that the person who sells the wheat has the privilege oi delivering 
it at any time during the month of June. 

Selling short, is contracting to deliver a certain amount of grain or 
stock, at a fixed price, within a certain length of time, when the seller 
has not the stock on hand. It is for the interest of the person selling 
"short," to depress the market as much as possible, in order that he may 
buy and fill his contract at a profit. Hence the " shorts " are termed 
" bears." 

Buying long, is to contract to purchase a certain amount of grain or 
shares of stock at a fixed price, deliverable within a stipulated time, 
expecting to make a profit by the rise of prices. The "longs" are 
termed "bulls," as it is for their interest to "operate" so as to "toss" 
the prices upward as much as possible.

be clearly and explicitly stated, and there must, to make it valid, be a 
reasonable consideration.

CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS 

May be legally made by electing or appointing, according to the usages 
or customs of the body of which it is a part, at any meeting held for that 
purpose, two or more of its members as trustees, wardens or vestrymen, and 
may adopt a corporate name. The chairman or secretary of such meeting 
sliall, as soon as possible, make and file in the office of the recorder of 
deeds of the county, an affidavit substantially in the following form :

which affidavit must be recorded by the recorder, and shall be, or a certi- 
fied copy made by the recorder, received as evidence of such an incorpo- 
ration. 

Ifo certificate of election after the first need he filed for record. 

The term of office of the trustees and the general government of the 
society can be determined by the rules or by-laws adopted. Failure to 
elect trustees at the time provided does not work a dissolution, but the 
old trustees hold over. A trustee or trustees may be removed, in the 
same manner by the society as elections are held by a meeting called for 
that purpose. The property of the society vests in the corporation. The 
corporation may hold, or acquire by purchase or otherwise, land not 
exceeding ten acres, for the purpose of the society. The trustees have 
the care, custody and control of the property of the corporation, and can, 
when directed by the society, erect houses or improvements, and repair 
and alter the same, and may also when so directed by the society, 
mortgage, encumber, sell and convey any real or personal estate belonging 
to the corporation, and make all proper contracts in the name of such 
corporation. But thej are prohibited by law from encumbering or inter- 
fering with any property so as to destroy the effect of any gift, grant, 
devise or bequest to the corporation ; but such gifts, grants, devises or 
bequests, must in all cases be used so as to carry out the object intended 
by the persons making the same. Existing societies may organize in the 
manner herein set forth, and have all the advantages thereof. 

SUGGESTIONS TO THOSE PURCHASING BOOKS BY SUBSCRIPTION. 

The business of publishing books by subscription having so often been 
brought into disrepute by agents making representations and declarations 
not authorized by the publisher ; in order to prevent that as much as possi- 
ble, and that there may be more general knowledge of the relation such 
agents bear to their principal, and the law governing such cases, the fol- 
lowing statement is made : 

A subscription is in the nature of a contract of mutual promises, by 
which the subscriber agrees to pay a certain sum for the work described ; 
the consideration is concurrent that the publisher shall publish the hook 
named, and deliver the same, for which the subscriber is to pay the price 
named. The nature and character of the work is described in the prospectus 
and by the sample shown. These should be carefully examined before sub- 
7, as they are the basis and consideration of the promise to pay, 

I 



ABSTRACT O ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 81 

and not the too often exaggerated statements of the agent, who is merely 
employed to solicit subscriptions, for which he is usually paid a commission 
for each subscriber, and has no authority to change or alter the conditions 
upon which the subscriptions are authorized to be made by the publisher. 
Should the agent assume to agree to make the subscription conditional or 
modify or change the agreement of the publisher, as set out by prospectus 
and sample, in order to bind the principal, the subscriber should see that 
such conditions or changes are stated over or in connection with his signa- 
ture, so that the publisher may have notice of the same. 

All persons making contracts in reference to matters of this kind, or 
any other business, should remember that the law as to written contracts is, 
that they can not be varied, altered or rescinded verbally, but if done at all, 
must be done in tvriting. It is therefore important that all persojis contem- 
plating subscribing should distinctly understand that all talk before or after 
the subscription is made, is not admissible as evidence, and is no pat't of the 
contract. 

Persons employed to solicit subscriptions are known to the trade as 
canvassers. They are agents appointed to do a particular business in a 
prescribed mode, and have no authority to do it in any other way to the 
prejudice of their principal, nor can they bind their principal in any other 
matter. They cannot collect money, or agree that payment may be made 
in anything else but money. They can not extend the time of payment 
beyond the time of delivery, nor hind their principal for the payment of 
expenses incurred in their buisness. 

It would save a great deal of trouble, and often serious loss, if persons, 
before signing their names to any subscription book, or any written instru- 
ment, would examine carefully what it is ; if they can not read themselves, 
should call on some one disinterested who can.

INTEREST TABLE. 

A Simple Rule for Accurately Computing Interest at Any Given Per Cent, for 
Any Length of Time. 

Multiply the prhuipal (amount of money at interest) by the tijiie reduced to day: : then 
divide this product by the quotient obtained by dividing 360 (the number of days in the interest 
year) by the per cent, of interest, and the quotient thus obtained will be the required interest. 
illustration. Solution. 

Require the interest of $462.50 for one month and eighteen days at $462.50 

6 per cent. An interest month is 30 days ; one month and eighteen days .48 

equal 48 days. $462.50 multiplied by .48 gives 222,0000; 360 divided 

by 6 (the per cent, of interest) gives 60, and $222.0000 divided by 60 370000 

will give you the exact interest, which is $3.70. If the rate of interest 6)36o\ 185000 
in the above example were 12 per cent., we would divide the $222.0000 
by 30 (because 360 divided by 12 gives 30) ; if 4 per cent., we would 
divide by 90 ; if 8 per cent., by 45 ; and in like manner for any other 
per cent.

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES 



CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 
AND ITS AMENDMENTS. 

We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, 
establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common 
defense, promote the general ivelfare, and- secure the blessings of liberty 
to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution 
for the United States of America. 

Akticle I. 

Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in 
a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and 
House of Representatives. 

Sec. 2. The House of Representatives shall be composed of mem- 
bers chosen every second year by the people, of the several states, and the 
electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of 
the most numerous branch of the State Legislature. 

No person shall be a representative who shall not have attained to the 
age of twenty-five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United 
States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in 
which he shall be chosen. 

Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the sev- 
eral states which may be included within this Union, according to their 
respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole 
number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of 
years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons. 
The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first 
meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subse- 
quent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall bj' law direct. The 
number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty thousand, 
but each state shall have at least one Representative ; and until such 
enumeration shall be made the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled 
to choose three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode Island and Providence Plan- 
tations one, Connecticut five. New York six. New Jersey four, Pennsylva- 
nia eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, 
and Georgia three. 

When vacancies happen in the representation from any state, the 
Executive authority thereof shall issue writs of election to fill such 
vacancies. 

The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other 
officers, and shall have the sole power of impeachment. 

Sec. 3. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two 
Senators from each state, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six years ; 
and each Senator shall have one vote. 

Immediately after they shall be assembled in consequence of the first 
election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three classes. 
The seats of the Senatoas of the first class shall be vacated at the expira- 



AND ITS AMENDMENTS. 87 

tion of the second year, of the second class at the expiration of the fourth 
year, and of the third class at the expiration of the sixth year, so that 
one-third may be chosen every second year; and if vacancies happen by 
resignation or otherwise, during the recess of the Legislature of any state, 
the Executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next 
meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies. 

No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age 
of thirty years and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and 
who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state for which he 
shall be chosen. 

The Vice-President of the United States shall be President of the 
Senate, but shall have no vote unless they be equally divided. 

The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a President "pro 
tempore^ in the absence of the Vice-President, or when he shall exercise 
the office of President of the United States. 

The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When 
sitting for that purpose they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the 
President of the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside. 
And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds 
of the members present. 

Judgment, in cases of impeachment, shall not extend further than to 
removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of 
honor, trust, or profit under the United States ; but the party convicted 
shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment, 
and punishment according to law. 

Sec. 4. The times, places and manner of holding elections for Sen- 
ators and Representatives shall be prescribed in each state by the Legis- 
lature thereof ; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter 
such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators. 

The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such 
meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by 
law appoint a different day. 

Sec. 5. Each house shall be the judge of the election, returns, and 
qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute 
a quorum to do business ; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to 
day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members 
in such manner and under such penalties as each house may provide. 

Each house may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its 
members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, 
expel a member. 

Each house shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to 
time publish the same, excepting such parts as may, in their judgment, 
require secrecy ; and the yeas and nays of the members of either house 
on any question shall, at the desire of one-fifth of those present, be entered 
on the journal. 

Neither house, during the session of Congress, shall, without the 
consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other 
place than that in which the two houses shall be sitting. 

Sec. 6. Tlie Senators and Representatives shall receive a compen- 
sation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the 
treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason, 



88 CONSTITUTION OF THE imiTED STATES 

felony, and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their 
attendance at the session of their respective houses, and in going to and 
returning from the same ; and for any speech or debate in either house 
they shall not be questioned in any other place. 

No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he was 
elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United 
States, which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall 
have been increased during such time ; and no person holding any office 
under the United States, shall be a member of either house during his 
continuance in office. 

Sec. 7. All biUs for raising revenue shall originate in the House of 
Representatives ; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments 
as on other bills. 

Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and 
the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President 
of the United States ; if he approve he shall sign it ; but if not he shall 
return it, with his objections, to that house in which it shall have origi- 
nated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and 
proceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration two-thirds of that 
house shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objec- 
tions, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if 
approved by two-thirds of that house, it shall become a law. But in all 
such cases the votes of both houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, 
and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered 
on the journal of each house respectively. If any bill shall not be returned 
by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted), after it shall have 
been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he 
had signed it, unless the Congress, by their adjournment, prevent its

Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof 
may direct, a number of Electors, equal to the whole number of Senators 
and Representatives to which the state may be entitled in the Congress ; 
but no Senator or Representative, or person holding an office of trust or

and if there be more than one who have such majority, and have an equal 
number of votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately

office, the same shall devolve on the Vice-Pr.esident, and the Congress 
may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation, or inabil-

then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the dis- 
ability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

Before he enters on the execution of his office, he shall take the fol- 
lowing oath or affirmation:

preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." 

Sec. 2. The President shall be commander in chief of the army and 
navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when 
called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the

departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective 
offices, and iie shall have power to grant reprieves and pardon for offenses 
against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present con- 
cur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice of the Senate, 
shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of 
the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States whose 
appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be 
established by law ; but the Congress may by law vest the appointment

the courts of law, or in the heads of departments. 

The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may 
happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which

of the state of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such mea-

ambassadors and other public ministers ; he shall take care that the laws be 
faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United

viction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. 

Article III. 

Section I. The judicial power of the United States shall be vested 
in one Supreme Court, and such inferior courts as the Congress may from 
time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the Supreme and 
inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior, and shall, at 
stated times, receive for their services a compensation, which shall not be 
diminished during their continuance in office. 

Sec. 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and 
equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and 
treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority ; to all cases 
affecting ambassadors, other public ministers, and consuls ; to all cases of 
admiralty and maritime jurisdiction ; to controversies to which the United 
States shall be a party ; to controversies between two or more states ; 
between a state and citizens of another state ; between citizens of differ- 
ent states ; between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants 
of different states, and between a state or the citizens thereof, and foreign 
states, citizens, or subjects. 

In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers, and consuls, 
and those in which a state shall be a party, the Supreme Court shall have 
original jurisdiction. 

In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall 
have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions 
and under such regulations as the Congress shall make. 

The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by 
jury ; and such trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall 
have been committed ; but when not committed within any state, the 
trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have 
directed. 

Sec. 3. Treason against the United States shall consist only in levy- 
ing war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid 
and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the tes- 
timony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open 
court. 

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, 
but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture, 
except during the life of the person attainted.

up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime.

therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered

Sec. 3. New states may be admitted by the Congress into this Union ; 
but no new state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of an}' 
other state ; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states,

concerned, as well as of the Congress.

valid to all intents and purposes as part of this Constitution, when rati- 
fied by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by con- 
ventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratifi-

History of Warren County. 



TOPOGKAPHT AISTD GEOLOGY. 
[FroTn Geological Sv/rvey hy A. H. Crreen. — 1870.] 

Warren county contains fifteen townships, or five hundred and forty 
square miles. The fourth principal meridian passes along its eastern bor- 
der. It is intersected in the northern part, from east to west, by Main, 
Henderson and Cedar creeks. South of this there is South Henderson 
creek, rising in township 10 and running nearly west ; while to the east 
Slug Run rises in the northern part of the same township and passing 
south empties into Cedar Fork, near the eastern part of the county. Cedar 
Fork rises near the western boundary of township 9 and runs a little to 
the south of east. South of this is Nigger Creek, of which Little Nigger 
and Swan Creek are branches. By these and smaller streams the county is 
well watered and its surface thoroughly drained. 

Springs are not very abundant, but there are some which are large and 
valuable. Good wells may usually be obtained at depths varying from ten 
to thirty feet, but if at the latter depth water is not found, it is generally 
necessary to dig sixty feet or more, or through the blue clay of the drift. 

The greater part of Warren county is prairie, but they are seldom large, 
being divided by the numerous streams. The soil is a dark vegetable loam, 
differing but little in its general character and appearance from that of the 
adjoining counties. Along the ridges that skirt the streams the soil is of 
less depth, lighter colored and less fertile. The subsoil is a yellow or brown 
clay. 

Much of the land lying along the water courses was originally covered 
with timber. Large portions of this have been cut oif. The varieties of 
timber here are nearly the same as in this part of Illinois — principally the 
common varieties of oak and hickory, with an undergrowth of hazel and 
sumach. Along the slopes of the hills and on the bottom lands of the 
streams, in addition to these, can be found red and white elm, white, blue 
and prickly ash, linden, sycamore, sugar and white maple, ash-leaved maple 
or box-elder, black walnut, butternut, buckeye, cottonwood, honey locust, 
American aspen^ wild cherry, cofl'ee tree, hackberry, mulberry, ironwood, 
wild plum, thorn, crab apple, dogwood and red bud. 

The alluvial deposits of the county are not extensive, being confined to 
the borders of the streams, and are seldom over a half mile in width, while 
commonly they are less. The soil of these bottom lands is very fertile and 
consists of black loam, more or less mixed with sand and gravel. 

The coal measures underlie nearly the whole of Warren county. Sum- 
ner and the northern part of Hale township probably embraces the entire 



102 HISTORY OF WAREEN COUNTT. 

district, or nearly so, where coal is not found. The coal measures comprise, 
in this county, various stratas of shales, sandstones, limestones, clays and 
coal, and attain a thickness in some parts of from one to two hundred feet. 
These stratas rest upon the Burlington limestone, and where this is found 
near the surface, or reached in shafting, no coal need be looked for in deeper 
explorations. 

The upper seam is from three to three and a half feet in tiiickness, and 
has been found in few localities. 

The next seam, No. 2 of the Illinois section, is from one foot, eight 
inches, to two feet thick in this county, elsewhere it attains a thickness of 
from three to live feet. Though thinner, this seam is more extensively 
worked than either of the others. ' 

On sections 14 and 23, in township 10, are some valuable quarries. 
The rock is from six to seven feet thick at some of the localities and the 
whole of it is thickly bedded, so that blocks of any desirable size can be 
obtained. There are, however, large concretions of a caloareo-arenaceous 
rock, locally called " flint," in the sandstones. One of these was taken 
from the quarry of Mr. J. Worden, on section 14, that was about two and 
one-half feet thick, six to seven wide, and from ten to twelve feet long. 
This rock is very compact, hard enough to scratch glass, and in chloro- 
hydric acid eifervesces slightly. It is not considered of any value, and is 
so hard that when it occurs in large masses it is very expensive getting it 
out of the way. 

In township 8 a coal seam crops out for some distance along Swan and 
Little Nigger creeks. At these localities mining has been carried on for 
years, and in places the bluffs are almost honey-combed by the entries, new 
and old. In some of the mines the fire-cla^y below the coal is varied in 
color, the usual tints being a light blue, though in some places it is nearly 
white, while in others it is yellow, or yellow and red. The coals in this 
county are mostly worked by drifts or tunnels driven horrizontally into the 
hill-sides along the outcrops of the seams, and owing to the shaley character 
of the roof of No. 2, considerable expense is incurred in "cribbing" to 
sustain the roof. The thickness of the coal is usually from twenty inches 
to two feet, and in driving the entries it becomes necessary to remove a 
portion of the roof shales, or the under-clay, in order to obtain the amount 
of vertical space required to take out the coal. The lower seam, No. 1, of 
the Illinois section, varies from two to four feet in this county. It is gen- 
erally overlaid by black slate, or a dark coloi-ed, and frequently shaley lime- 
stone. This forms a very good roof and makes the working of the seam 
less expensive than that of No. 2, as, frequently, but little or no cribbing is 
required. 

A little east of Monmouth is one of the most extensive mining com- 
panies in the country. Coal of a superior quality was found here, about 
1871, and active preparations at once commenced to mine at this point. 
The seam is about twenty inches in thickness, and was found at a depth of 
about sixty feet. A far more valuable industry, and one which occupies 
the almost entire attention of the company — The Monmouth Mining and 
Manufacturing Company— is that of tile making. About thirty feet below 
the coal seam a most valuable strata of tile clay was found, and in 1875, 
active preparations were at once made to enter immediately upon the 
manufacture of this article. A stock company, representing $200,000 cap- 
ital, was formed, and large buildings were erected and supplied with the

best of machinery. The buildings are so arranged and heated that the 
business can be carried on at all seasons of the year. Huge steam-pipes 
permeate the entire structure and every available foot of space is used. 
The company, of which the officers are: Daniel D. Parry, President; H. 
C. Beck with, Secretary; and J. S. ^priggs, Treasurer, are now making all 
sizes of tile, from a small two inch pipe used in draining fields where the 
supply of water is small to the manufacture of large sewer pipes used in 
the drainage of cities. The utility and profit of this material to the farm- 
ing community can hardly be estimated. Aside from the increase in health 
it brings by carrying off all surplus wat-r, it yields the richest returns for 
the capital invested. Fields which were once considered useless and value- 
less are made productive through liberal drainage; and swamps, or " sloughs," 
as they are called in the Western vernacular, once the source of fever and 
ague and all their attendant evils and discomforts, are drained of their mias- 
mal waters, the sources of these diseases removed, and the land made to 
yield abundantly. Numerous instances could be given wherein one dollar 
invested in this article has returned to the investor many times its value ; 
and the intelligent reader of these pages has only to turn his attention to 
where the practical results are seen to verify this statement. 

The tile made by this company is of an unexceptional material, and is 
rapidly finding its way into all parts of the West. 

A few feet below the strata of clay, an excellent fire-clay was discovered. 
Heretofore the company was compelled to bring their fire-brick, at a heavy 
expense, from Ohio, but now, instead of purchasing that article, they have 
an abundance for sale. 

THE COAL INTEEESTS OF THE COUNTY. 

There are reported by the county surveyor, Mr. Thos. McClanahan, 
twenty -nine coal mines in Warren county in operation. These employ 
from one to twenty men each, or one hundred and twelve in all. The 
average thickness of the coal vein is about thirty inches ; the}' range from 
eighteen to forty inches. During the year 1876, and to March, 1876, there 
were mined in all 384,740 bushels ; the lowest product from anj' one mine 
being 170 bushels ; the greatest number 96,000 bushels. 

The price for coal ranged from eight to twelve and one-half cents, the 
total amount received being $38,374.00. The depth of the mines vary from 
twenty to one hiindred feet below the surface. The cost of opening these 
mines ranges from $25.00 to $5,000. The roofs of the mines are generally 
covered with soapstone or slate, and the bottom is principally fire-clay. 
The escapes are nearly always abundantly sufficient, and air in the mines 
pure and wholesome. 

Burlington Limestone. — The beds of this group immediately underlie 
the coal measures in this county, wherever the junction of the coal with the 
underlying beds can be seen. 

The Burlington group in Warren county consists mainly of light gray 
and brown limestones, chert and calcareous clay shale, and attains a thick- 
ness of from forty to fifty feet. These beds outcrop along the small streams 
in the southern part of township 12. Section 31, of the same township, 
furnishes layers of good building material sufficiently thick for all ordinary 
purposes. At Rockwell's mill, on Cedar Creek, the rock is quite arena- 
ceous. 



106 UISTOKY OF WAEEEN CODNTY. 

On section 1, in township 11, tliere are extensive quarries of limestone. 
Mucli lime is burned here, and thie rock being nearly a pure corbonate of 
lime affords a good article. Near the middle of section 7, on Cedar Creek, 
and along a branch putting off to the southeast there are extensive quarries 
in the bluffs wbicli supply Monmouth and the adjoining region with large 
quantities of excellent building material. 

The Burlington limestone furnishes a good article of building stone, 
and is found along the southern part pf township 12, and in the northern of 
township 11, in range 2 and 3 (See map in front part of this work). From 
Rockwell's Mill for several miles up Cedar Creek the outcrops of these 
beds form mural, or overhanging masses. ■ 

The rock is compact and dresses well, and some of the layers afford a 
stone susceptible of a good polish. 

In section 11 the sandstone forms immense ledges, which in some 
places overhang the water ten or fifteen feet. " Eock House," as it is called, 
is in this section, and was formed in some past time, when the bed of the 
stream was considerably higher than at present, by the water cutting 
a passage through a portion of the lower strata. In the denuding process, 
a large pillar of sandstone was left, and now supports the outer edge of the 
upper strata which forms the roof 

Nearly all the outcrops of Burlington limestone will afford abundant 
supplies of material for lime, and being nearly pure carbonate of lime, yields 
an excellent article. Lime is extensively manufactured in some localities. 
Better facilities are being obtained for getting fuel to the kilns and the manu- 
factured lime to market, thereby rendering this business an imjsortant 
source of wealth to some portions of the county. 

Agricultuee. — Warren county contains 335,945 acres of land, valued 
at $8,095,104. The whole number of town lots is 4,164; their value is 
$1,063,688. The average value of lands is $24.10 per acre, and the average 
value of the lots is $255.45 each. The total value of all property in the 
county, including personal property, is $12,039,637. The county contains 
only 20,112 acres unimproved lands, and those are valued at $181,024, 
showing there is no worthless land. 

During the year 1875, there were sown in wheat 5,879 acres; in corn, 
138,870 aci-es — nearly one-half the area of the county — in oats, 26,180 ; in 
meadow, 36,316, and in other field products, 5,385 acres. There are 20,338 
acres in wooiiland, and 3,644 acres in orchards. There were also reported 
to the county assessors 12,370 horses, valued at $564,038; 25,154 head of 
cattle, valued at $389,333; 4,608 sheep, valued at $9,291; 966 mules and 
asses, valued at $53,448 ; 48,368 hogs, valued at $231,737. These figures 
give 91,466 head of live stock, whose entire value is $1,247,847. There 
were also returned for taxation 4,318 carriages and wagons, worth $133,339; 
2,738 clocks and watches, worth $12,720; 1,854 sewing machines, worth 
$38,701 ; 586 pianos, organs and melodeons, worth $36, 186 ; there are in 
banks credit, money, bonds and stocks, $626,475. and in addition to this 
there are held $228,000 in bank stock. The entire personal property in 
Warren county is taxed at $2,880,845. Since the opening of the C. B. & Q. 
R. K., in 1855, there have been shipped from the county fifteen million 
bushels of grain, a million head of live stock, and several million dollars 
worth of manufactured machinery.

the conveniences and comforts of life are assurances of tlie wealtli and ease 
with which the greater portion of the people are blessed. 

The population is now, counting three times the number of persons 
enrolled in the late school census, under twenty-one years of age, 33,876 ; 
32,584 of these are over age; and assuming the $12,039,637 to be the value 
of the property, each one of the latter class is worth $!i3.31. 

HISTOEY. 

In the winter of 1822 and 1823 the Legislature of the State of Illinois 
laid out the " Military Tract," situated between the Illinois and Mississippi 
rivers, into counties, giving to each a name, and at the same time formed 
several other counties. At an earlier day the " Military Tract," and, indeed, 
all north and west of the Illinois river, including the country about Galena, 
was attached to and formed a part of Madison county, for judicial purposes. 
At that session, however. Pike county was formed, and the records of lands, 
patents, &c., situated on the Military Tract, were thereafter recorded at 
Atlas, then the count}' seat. 

A subsequent Legislature organized Adams, Schuyler, Fulton and Pe- 
oria counties, attaching to Schuyler count}' the new county of McDonough, 
for judicial purposes. During the session of 1824-2ii the county of Warren 
was formed, comprising all that part of the Military Tract lying west of the 
fourth principal meridian, extending to the Mississippi river, and including 
what is now Henderson county. It was named in honor of General Joseph 
Warren, who so gallantly defended the country at the commencement of the 
Revolutionary war, and who was the first officer to shed his life's blood in 
that struggle which gave America her independence. He was killed by a 
musket ball at the battle of Bunker's Hill. As every school-boy knows, the 
Americans were enabled to "hold the fort" while their ammunition lasted; 
that giving way, they slowly retreated, Gen. Warren being the last to go. 
As he retired he turned to look at the foe, and just at that instant received 
a ball in his forehead, and sank dead to the earth. He was thirty-five years 
of age at the time. 

The Legislature met at Vandalia, then the capital of the State, and in 
the Act forming the county attached it to Pike county, for judicial pur- 
poses, until a sufficient number of inhabitants were within its borders to 
enable it to take active existence. This did not occur until June, 1830. 

Late in the spring of 1827, some pioneers made their way into the 
county limits, and the following year the first ground was broken by a plow. 

The Talbot family were the earliest settlers in Warren county. Mrs. 
Talbot, mother of John B. Talbot, was some eighty years of age when she 
came. She was born in New England, but came to Kentucky wben John 
was byrn. After the death of his mother he married and removed to 
Oregon. 

Allen G. Andrews, a nephew of Mrs. Talbot, came about the same 
time. He had been several years in the West Indies, and was quite a good 
Spanish scholar. He died some years ago on his farm, just north of Cedar 
creek. James B. Atwood settled on his farm in 1828. In June of that 
year he claimed to have broken five acres of prairie and planted it in corn. 
He afterwards went to Texas. Andrew Robinson settled on the farm after- 
wards owned by old Mr. Terpening. He located again on a farm about 
seven miles north-east of Monmouth, where he, in after years, died. Adam 



108 HISTOEY OP WAEREN COTJNTT. 

Kitchie ('' Sandy ") settled near Sugar-Tree Grove in May, 1828. His son, 
Rev. Henderson Ritchie, born December 28, 1828, was the first white child 
born in Warren county. Mr. Ritchie afterwards went to Quincy, then to 
where ISTauvoo was built, at which place he died of cholera. J. Bnifum and 
L. P. Rockwell located where Rockwell's mill was afterwards built. 

Daniel BLarris, a quiet, peaceful man, erected a cabin near where the 
village of Ellison now stands. He was basely murdered, while eating, by a 
gun-shot through the window. His was the first death in the county. 

It is somewhat strange that the first deaths in the region were violent. 
Shortly after the killing of Mr. Plarris, Mr. James Moffitt went out one 
morning to find his cattle, which had strayed away on the unbounded prai- 
ries. Getting upon a fence surroundiiig some choice garden or field, he un- 
expectedly fell and dislocated his neck, so that death resulted soon after. 
Afterwards, William Martin, son of Hugh Martin, was killed by the In- 
dians. An account of this and the trial of the murderer will be found fur- 
ther on in this narrative. Adam Ritchie ("Black," as he was called on ac- 
count of his dark color) located here about the same date as that of his 
cousin Adam (called " Sandy " on account of his sandy complexion, and to 
distinguish him from the other), but afterwards removed to Iowa, where he 
was a pioneer in the organization of the first Seceder church in that State. 

Dr. Isaac Galland, or Garland — the latter is probably the correct 
name — erected, in 1827, the first house on the site of the lower Yellow 
Banks, now Oquaka, Henderson county. The Dr. afterwards related that 
it took him nearly a week to lay up the logs of his house, eight rounds high. 
There were no white men to help him, save his teamster, and in the emer- 
gency he hired six or eight Indians, who were then encamped at the point 
of woods below. He had to pay them for each log as it was rolled to its 
place, and give them a drink around. As they were unused to such labor, 
and particularly after imbibing two or three drams of liquor, thereby be- 
coming unsteady in their movements, they were unable to perform heavy 
work. Often at this stage of the labor, the logs, which were unhewn, and 
ot the black-Jack variety, would give a lurch, and coming down on their 
bare arms and breasts, would tear off the skin in great fiakes. They would 
give an ejacuiatory "omcA," and at once quit for the day. Their love of the 
'' fire-water " was so great, however, that they would always return on the 
following day, thereby repeating the process until the house was complete. 
A few other houses were probably built this year — 1827. In 1828 and '29, 
quite a number of settlers came and located in different portions of the 
county. James and RoUa Simmons settled at Greenbush ; John C. Bond 
shortly after, a little south of them; a family (name not now known) at the 
head of Swan creek; Field, Jarvis and Col. Redman at the head of Ellison 
creek; Samuel G. Morise, Thomas Pearce, Solomon Perkins and Shelden 
Lockwood near the present town of Berwick; Stephen S. Phelps ^at the 
Lower Yellow Banks; James Hodgens at Hodgens' Grove, just nortli-west 
of the present city of Monmouth; Samuel Jameson and sons, and James 
Ryerson south of the Yellow Banks. 

Stephen S. Phelps purchased the improved claim of Dr. Garland, and 
removed his family to their new home in the summer of 1828. He was 
soon joined by the families of Beatty and Jeremiah Smith, in addition to 
several already mentioned. Mr. Smith erected a saw and grist mill on 
Smith creek, in 1829, and before a few summers had passed quite a settle- 
ment was established at this place. 



HISTOET OF WAEEEN COTJNTT. 109 

In the Autumn of 1829 and spring^ of 1830, Elijah Davidson, Sr., Wil- 
liam Whitman, Peter Butler and others located on the south side of Cedar 
creek. By this time the entire territory comprised in Warren, Henderson 
and Mercer counties contained only about thirty or forty families; but 
others were constantly coming, so that by the spring of the latter year it 
was thought proper to send to Peoria and secure an order for a county elec- 
tion from Hon. Pichard M. Young, Judge of the Circuit Court, and so 
well known in after years throughout the State. 

By the census of 1830, thei'e were that year in the territory included 
within the three counties 360 inhabitants. Other reasons urged this step. 
They were compelled to go to Peoria for all legal purposes — for all marriage 
licenses — or publish a notice ten days before the event, and young people 
then, as now, did not at all times care to make the happy affair so public a 
matter; -they were compelled to adopt the former course. 

The citizens desired to assess and collect their own taxes, and to man- 
age affairs their own way. Petitions to this effect were freely circulated 
and freely signed. 

*Daniel McNeil, Jr., who then lived at Lower Yellow Banks, was ap- 
pointed to go to Peoria to meet the Judge and present the petition. Judge 
Young was then holding court in a building sixteen by twenty feet in 
dimensions, situated upon the bank of the river, just where the latter leaves 
the lake. 

It was then more than fifty miles from any part of Warren to Peoria 
by the most direct route. The Spoon and Kickapoo rivers were to be 
crossed between the two places, and they were often unfordable by reason 
of overflows. The Judge saw the necessity of the people, and being satis- 
fied there wei-e enough within the prescribed limits of the county, issued 
the following order : 

State oe Illinois, | ,

attached parts thereof," approved January 13th, 1825, it is made the duty 
of the presiding Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit of the State of Illinois, 
whenever it shall be made to appear to his satisfaction, that either of the 
counties of Hancock, Warren, Mercer, Henrj', Putnam and Knox, contain 
three hundred and fifty inhabitants, to proceed to organize the same, and to 
grant an order for the election of county ofiicers preparatory thereto : And 
whereas, it has been made appear to my satisfaction, that the county of 
Warren contains three hundred and fifty inhabitants and upwards; and in- 
asmuch as the greater part of the qualified voters of the said county have 
requested, by petition, that the same should be organized with as little 
delay as possible, I do, therefore, in pursuance of the power vested in me,

almost every office in the county at one time and another, and did more to advance its inter- 
ests than any one else. He was born in Hillsborough, N. H., March 24, 1792; he emigrated 
to Phelps, N. Y., in 1805 ; to Louisiana in 1810. He returned to N. Y. again in 1814, and 
went to Wabash county, near Vincennes, Indiana, in 1819. In 1824 lie removed to Pulton

RiCHAED M. Young, 
Circuit Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit of the State of Illinois. 
Mr. Ritchie lived near the centre of the population, and early on the 
morning of the day appointed for the election the voters assembled. Thirty- 
seven votes were polled, three voters being absent. The persons named in 
the order of Judge Young declining to serve as judges of election, the peo- 
ple appointed Robert K. Hendricks, Sheldon Lockwood and Peter Butler 
in their place, and Stephen S. Phelps and Daniel McNeil clerks. On count- 
ing the votes at the close of the balloting, John Pence, John B. Talbot and 
Adam ("Sandy") Ritchie were found elected Commissioners; John Rust, 
Sheriff, and John Ritchie, Coroner. Knox county, immediately east of 
Warren, and McDonough county,, in the south, were each organized hj order 
of Judge Young, on the same day, and at their elections each gave about 
the same number of votes as Warren. 

On the Monday following the election in Warren, the Commissioners 
met at Lower Yellow Banks, at the house of Stephen S. Phelps, and organ- 
ized as a Board of County Commissioners. They appointed Daniel McNeil 
their clei'k, divided the county into two election precincts and two Justice's 
districts, the divisions being marked by the range line between three and 
four west. The western was called Precinct No. 1, and Yellow Banks 
Judge's District, the place of holding elections being the temporary court- 
house. The eastern was called Precinct No. 2, and the place of holding 
elections was appointed at the house of Isaac Hodgens, at Hodgens' Grove, 
one mile north-west of the present county seat. An election was ordered 
to be held at these places on the first Monday in Augiist following, tha,t

being the general election day throughout the State. It was also ordered, 
that "in addition to the State officers elected, there shcmld be chosen three 
County Commissioners, one Sheriff, one Coroner, two Justices, two Con- 
stables' in each precinct; and as the District Court was expected to hold a 
session before this election, the Commissioners selected a Grand and Petit 
Jury, which took every eligible man in the county. 

The county being now organized, it was necessary that the laws of the 
State be'put into force. Judge Young issued the following order : 

" State of Illinois, ) , . 
Fifth Judicial District. \ 
To all vjhom it may concern. Greeting : 

" Know ye. That I, Eichard M. Young, Judge of the Fifth Judicial 
Circuit of the State of Illinois, north of the Illinois river, and presiding 
Judge of the Circuit Court, in and for the county of Warren, and State 
aforesaid, in pursuance of the power vested in me by virtue of the 10th sec- 
tion of the Act entitled 'An Act. supplementary to an Act regulating the 
Supreme and Circuit Courts,' approved January 19, 1829, approved Janu- 
ary 28, 1829, do hereby order and appoint, that Circuit Courts be held in 
and for the said county of Warren, at such places as may be selected and 
provided by the County Commissioners' Court of said county on the fourth 
Mondays in June and the first Mondays in October, until I shall make 
another order to the contrary. 

'• Signed, Richaed M. Young, 

'■'■Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit?^ 

This order was given at Galena on July oth, preceding the general 
election, and on the same day the Judge gave the order for the organization 
of the county, he gave to 'Daniel McJ^eil the appointment of clerk, ^-o 
tern., for the Circuit'" Court, dating it at Peoria, on October 1st, 1830, where 
he held court, at the house of John B. Gunner At the general election in 
August, votes were cast for Governor, Lieut.-Governor, Eepresentative to 
the General Assembly of the State, and for the county officers, as ordered 
by the Commissioners. Forty-seven votes were cast, forty- three being the 
greatest number any one candidate received, and every voter in the county 
was present save three. Hon. John Eeynolds received thirty-four votes for 

Governor, and William Kinney eleven. Hon. Wright was elected 

Eepresentative; and for the 'coanty offices, the following persons were 
chosen : John B. Talbot, Peter Butler and John Pence, Commissioners ; 
Stephen S. Phelps, Sherift", and John Eitchie, Coronor. At the Yellow Banks 
District, John Pence and Daniel McNeil, Jr., were elected Justices, and 
James Eyerson and William Causiand, Constables. At the Hodgens' Grove 
District, John B. Talbot, (" Sandy ") Adam Eitchie were elected Justices, 

and David Findley and — ^ Constables. Daniel McNeil having 

been appointed Clerk of Circuit Court, the county was now in complete 
running order. For some reason no preparation was made for holding the 
Circuit'Conrt, and the Judge met with the Clerk at the house of John B. 
Gunner, at Henderson's Grove, and after performing a little formulatory 
business, each returned to his home. 

It was customary in these days to have something to "take" at all 
elections, and the " take " was pretty generally indulged in by all. At the 
election in August, already referred to, a bucket was filled with whiskey, 
and a sufficient number of tin cups placed therein, and all who desired could 
freely imbibe. The Indians were present at the time in a strong represen- 



113 HISTORY OF WAEEEN COITNTT. 

tation, and indulged in their favorite " fire-water " to their full. Approach- 
ing the successful candidates at the close of the election, they congratulated 
them in a series of grunts and approving gestures, using in many cases, 
their only English sentence expressive of their ideas — " You big chief, big 
chief, me little chief, so high," measuring a short distance from the ground. 
Or " Keokuk, big chief, big chief," measuring with extended arm as high 
as they coiild reach. 

The county being now fully organized, it became necessary to have a 
seat of justice, and as the inhabitants residing therein could not decide upon 
the location, they petitioned the Legislature to select it. I'his the body did, 
by appointing three commissioners to perform the duty. They were Major 
Hazen Bedel, of Hancock county, John G. Sanburn, of Knox county, and 
John McNeil, of Fulton. The Act appointing these persons as Commis- 
sioners to locate the county seat passed the Legislature, and was approved 
January 'il, 1831. The Act directed them to meet at the house of Stephen 
S. Phelps, on the first Monday of the following April, and being duly swoi-n 
by some judge or justice in the countj', they were " faithfully to take into 
consideration the convenience of the people, the situation of the settlements 
with a view to the future population of said county and the eligibility of the 
situation, shall proceed to fix upon a place for the permanent seat of justice 
for said county, and give to it a name." 

On the day appointed these persons met and were duly sworn before 
Daniel McNeil, Jr., a justice, and at once proceeded to select a location. 
Yellow Banks, Hodgen's Point, Center Grove and Ellison's Creek were all 
contestants for the place. In order to ascertain what the future population 
might be, the commissioners made a plat of the county and placed in each 
township the probable number of towns, varying from four to fortj'-two. 

On April the 7th they completed the work assigned them, and sealing 
and directing a pa;-kage containing their decision to the "Cov:nty Commis- 
sioners Court of Warren County, Illinois," they departed to their homes. 

At a called meeting of the latter court, on the 11th day of the same 
month, the package was opened and was found to locate the seat of justice 
on section 29, in township 11. The reader will find their decision given at 
the commencement of the history of Monmouth, in their own words. 

In choosing the name of the new county seat, each commissioner 
selected the names ; from these, three were drawn, which proved to be 
Isabella, Kosciusko and Monmouth. These were thrown together, and it 
was agreed that the one drawn should be the name. Kosciusko was drawn, 
when it was suggested by the commissioner who first selected it, that very 
few of the inhabitants could spell it correctly, and he moved a drawing of 
the other two names be made. This was done, and resulted in the name 
the city now bears. 

The summer of 1831 was remarkably cold. Dark spots were plainly 
seen by the naked eye to cover the sun. The crops were almost a failure, 
and an early winter set in. Snow fell on the 4th day of October, but the 
skies clearing off, a fine spell of weather came in, which lastea a few weeks 
and enabled the settlers to gather tiieir corn. The winter began again with 
a storm of rain which lasted until the prairies were covered with 
water. It then changed to snow, and became in a few hours bitterly 
cold. Within twelve hours after the change, the prairies were a complete 
glare of ice, and neither man or beast could move with safety. Men were 
known to go five miles or more to get horse-shoes and nails made, and 



HISTOEY OF WAEBEN COUNTY. 113 

returning home would set the shoes with a common drawing-knife and ham- 
mer. Bj such means onl}'' were they able to obtain fuel. The ice lusted 
six weeks, and about the 1st of February, 1832, a snow fell to the depth of 
nine inches. This lay on the ground nearly six weeks and furnished excel- 
lent sleighing, which was greatly improved by the residents in transporting 
any articles needed. 

The spring of 1833 opened rather late, the weather was cold, and, like 
the previoiis spring, but little corn came up. The settlers had taken the 
precaution, however, to procure a species of Indian maize, known as '■^squaw 
corn" which matured much earlier than the common variety, and that sea- 
son a very good crop was raised. 

Their crops had hardh' been planted when they were disturbed by news 
of an Indian war. Black Hawk and his band were becoming troublesome, 
and on the first of May Governor Reynolds encamped at the Yellow Banks 
with a large number of volunteers to aid in the subjection of this famous 
Indian chief. There was no one in Warren county skilled in the manual 
of arms, and great fears were expressed by the people least, on the Gover- 
nor's absence, the savages would come from beyond the Mississippi River 
and destroy them. To allay these fears and give the citizens an opportunity 
to show their patriotism, the Governor issued the following special com- 
mission : 

" Camp at Yellow Banks, \ 
May 4th, 1832. f 

I do hereby appoint Daniel McNeil to give notice that an election 
for a major of militia, composing an odd battalion in Warren county, will 
be held at Monmouth, at some convenient time, within ten days from the 
date of this appointment. And I do further authorize the said McNeil to 
conduct said election according to law, and to give the person elected major 
a certificale of his election, which will authorize said major to cause elec- 
tions to be held for company officers, so that said militia be organized with 
speed to defend their lives from Indian depredations ; and in case of neces- 
sity, the said McNeil is authorized to call on one or] more companies to 
range the frontier for its defense. 

(Signed,) John Reynolds. 
Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the 111. Militia." 

In accordance with the above order, notice was given and an election, 
which resulted in the choice of Peter Butler, as major of the odd 
battalion, who forthwith ordered elections to be held at different points, for 
company officers, in certain districts of the county, and the organization of 
the militia was complete. 

Governor Reynolds passed on to Rock River with his troops, and the 
citizens becoming alarmed for their safety, being without a patrol, or body 
of rangers, for protection, petitioned McNeil to call volunteers. He com- 
plied, and on the 31st of May issued a call, to meet at Monmouth on the 
4th day of June. At this latter date a company of thirty men, three com- 
missioned, BXiAfive non-commissioned officers was formed, and reported for 
duty at the War Department at the City of Washington and to the Gover- 
nor of the State. 

For the entertainment of the readers of these pages, a copy of the 
muster roll of this company is herewith given : 

"A copy of Captain Peter Butler's company of Mounted Volunteer 
Rangers in the service of the United States, ordered out by Daniel ilcNeil, 



114 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. 

Junior, Agent of John Reynolds, Commander-in-Chief of the Militia of 
the State of Illinois, from the 4th day of June, 1832, the day of its enroll- 
ment, to the 15th day of its disbandment and discharge at Fort Gumm, 
fifteen miles from the place of its enrollment. 

" Peter Butler, Captain; James McCallon, 1st Lieut.; Solomon- Perkins, 
2d Lieut. ; Isaac Veetrees, 1st Sergeant ; Benjaman Tucker, 2d ; Matthew 
D. Ritchie, 3d ; and Adam Ritchie, 4th. The privates: John Van Atta, 
James C. Caldwell, John Quimm, Thomas Ritchie, Andrew Gilson, George, 
Gilson, William Stark, "W. H. Denison, Isaiah Osborn, John Armstrong, 
Danas B. Cartwright. Gersham Van Atta, Elijah Hilton, James Reason, 
William Laswell, Paschal Pencanean, John D. Ritchie, Samuel L. Hogae, 
David Russell, Charles A. Smith, John Findley, Amos Williams, Gabriel 
Short, John McCoy, Erastns S. Denison, John Maley, Robert S. Stice, John 
Hendricks, William Patton and Ezra A. Allen." 

These troops were disbanded in consequence of an order from the Gov- 
ernor calling upon the counties of McDonough and Warren to furnish a 
company to serve as mounted rangers until regularly discharged. This 
latter company was at once raised and Major Butler chosen captain and 
James MeCullon 1st Lieutenant ; many of the old company joining under 
these officers. 

It was during the time this last company was stationed at a fort at 
Yellow Banks that the murder of William Martin, already referred to, 
occurred. This sad occurrence happened on the afternoon of a fine day 
while Mr. Martin, was engaged in putting up hay. He was near Little 
York, and the two Misses McCoy saw five Indians come out from the woods 
near, run to Martin and shoot and scalp him. The news of the murder 
spread with great rapidity throughout the settlement and caused great 
alarm among the inhabitants. Nearly every family at once repaired to the 
fort for safety. A Methodist minister, who was preaching at Cedar Creek, 
some three miles distant, immediately on receipt of the news, in the midst 
of his sermon, abruptly closed his discourse, dismissed his congregation and 
fled with great haste to Canton. 

The murderers of Mr. Martin must be found and brought to punish- 
ment. The war was over and people had returned to their homes. The 
grand jury, at their session in 1832, following the painful murder, found a 
true bill against certain Indians, names unknown, of Keokuk's band of the 
Sac and Fox, friendly Indians, for the murder of William Martin. This 
was foi'warded to the Governor of the State, with a request that he would 
forward the same to the President of the United States, asking him to 
i-equire, through the Indian Agent of said band of Indians, the murderers. 
The Agent, Col. Marmaduke Davenport, made the demand, and one of the 
miirderers was delivered to the United States garrison at Rock Island and 
confined in Fort Armstrong. From this, however, he escaped and, crossing 
the Mississippi River, fled to the far West. 

According to the Indian custom, the tribe at once delivered up the next 
of kin to the murderers. This latter fact was not, howevei-, known to the 
authorities of Warren county. Peter Butler, sheriff" of the county, was 
notified by Col. Davenport that he would be at the Lower Yellow Banks 
about the 20th of March, 1833, with the reputed murderer of Martin, and 
requested that he, Butler, would be prepared to receive the prisoners. On 
that day, Col. Davenport, accompanied by Pash-a-pa-ho, Wee-shaw and Keo- 
kuk, chiefs, together with quite a number of Indians, his guard and the 



HISTORY OF WA.EEEN COUNTY. 115 

interpreters, arrived at Yellow Banks, and delivered Into the custody of 
Maj. Butler four young warriors, who were divested of their weapons and 
ornaments, and, as they expressed it, became squaws, were placed u.nder 
guard and taken to Monmouth. Here they were put under the charge of 
Daniel McKeil, jailor, who kept thtm under guard until the jail, then in 
process of construction, was sufficiently strong for their safe keeping. 

The names of the prisoners were J-o-nah, signifying, stay here, or he quiet, 
or be still; Ka-ke-mo, he that troubles, or humbletli,' Wau-pe-sho-kon, the 
white string; and S-sa-pe-mo (the meaning of the latter name is not now 
known). 

They brought with them a parcel of pipes, tobacco, dried corn, beans 
and a quantity of meat and tallow, sufficient to last them several days. The 
jailor had some of their provisions cooked for them in the Indian style, but 
regularly supplied them with wholesome food. One day they refused to eat 
until a speech had been delivered by J-o-nah, to which the others responded, 
and when ended, the speaker gave to the jailor a large green blanket, a pair 
of moccasins and a handkerchief. He was unable to understand the speech 
and judged the Indians wanted the blanket and handkerchief (rhough quite 
clean) washed, — the moccasins were for his wife, as a compensation for 
washing. 

When the articles were washed and dried, the jailor took them back to 
the jjrisoners, when he discovered his error. Speeches were again made, in 
which the name of Pencenean (a French interpreter,) was often used. He 
was in the employ of Mr. Phelps, and a short time aftei', being at the jail, 
the Indians requested him to say to their keeper that they were shut up in 
prison, deprived of fishing or hunting, away from their kindred and friends 
and nation, and wholly dependent upon the '■'•French m«/i," as they called 
the jailor, for everything they ate and drank, and that, were it not for his 
kinclness, they would long since have s arved to death ; that the blanket 
and other articles were of no use to them now, and that they had given 
them to him as a token of their gratitude, and hoped that they might be so 
received. " Tell him," said J-o-nah, " he is my brother, and a brother of 
us all ; and should we ever be liberated we will return to our kindred and 
tell them all thQ '■ Frenchman^ \\a.si Aone, for us. And when he becomes 
old, we will fish and kill deer and buftalo, catch otter and beaver for him, 
and we will bring them to Wa-iuash-a-ne-quah (S. S. Phillips, who traded 
much with the Indians), who will write to the ^French man' to come 
down with his one-horse wagon and bring up an abundance of provisions 
and furs for himself, scjuaw, and little ones, and all our brothers shall be 
his brothers." 

Court convened on June 14, 1833, and under a writ of habeas corpus 
the prisoners were brought up for trial. Col. Davenport, the Indian Agent, 
Mr. Le Clair, his interpreter, Keokuk, a famous chief, always friendly to the 
whites, Pow-a-sheite, and some fifty other chiefs and braves came up from 
Yellow Banks, headed by the United States flag, and encamped near the 
place of trial. The Indians — probably through the agent — had employed 
able counsel. They were Mr. Field, of Vandalia, Mr. Galewood, of Shaw- 
neetown and Mr. Hempstead, of Galena. They paid these lawyers about 
$500 each to defend them. 

After a patient examination by the grand jury, of Keoknk and other 
chiefs, to identify these persons as the murderers, that body reported that 
"The person confined in the fort -at Kock Island was the only person ever taken 



116 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. 

who was the real murderer, and that he had escaped to parts unknown." 
The prisoners were at once discharged, though not hefore Judge Young 
had (through the interpreter) severely reprimanded Keokuk and the other 
chiefs for delivering innocent persons in the room of the guilty. Keokuk 
replied that one guilty of the crime had been delivered up to the United 
States and that he had escaped, and with the four other murderers had gone 
beyond the Kocky Mountains. That these four prisoners were next in kin 
to the guilty ones, and according to their custom were given to be punished. 
They wei-e all very grateful for the deliverance of their braves, and at once 
returned to their hunting grounds. While in the jail, the keeper had tried 
to learn from them where lead could be found in Iowa. They assured him 
there was none to be found in that State worth working, except about Du- 
buque. They often drew maps for him, starting at the lakes, drawing the 
Illinois River and its tributaries, Wisconsin, Mississippi and Missouri, em- 
bracing Turkey Eiver, Maquoketa, Waubosepinican, Iowa and its branches 
and the Des Moines ; and it was often spoken of by the jailor, who has 
transmitted these items to posterity, that it was doubtful whether anyone 
could, with a piece of chalk, draw on a rough board floor so good a map of 
these rivers and the country they traversed. A few other Indians were 
tried in Warren county for various crimes, one of whom, Wa-gra-sho-kon, 
married a daughter of the celebrated Black Hawk. 

Troubles with the Indians soon, most happily, ceased. The famous 
Black Hawk war was closed, and emigrants came rapidly into the county. 
Religion and education at once took firm hold here, so that now the county 
contains fully as many churches and schools, according to its population, as 
any county in the United States. 

The first sermon preached in the limits of Wari-en county was by Rev. 
Mr. Finch, a Methodist minister. The people comprising this denomina- 
tion were few in number then, and lived far apart. Their first regular mis- 
sionary was Rev. Barton Randall. A class was formed first at Thomas 
Pierce's house, and here Benton PI. Cartwright, the first exhorter and 
licensed preacher among them, held services. 

A Cumberland Presbytai'ian minister preached the first sermon in 
Monmouth, at Joel Hargrove's house. As early as 1830 or 1831, the Associate 
Reformed sent a missionary here, and their church formed at Henderson's 
Grove is the oldest religious organization in the count}'. The Disciples 
located about the same time east of Monmouth, their center being Cold- 
brook. The first Sunday-school in Warren was opened at Yellow Bank, in 
1830, and two years after, a second school was opened in Monmouth. The 
first public school — supported by subscription — was opened in Monmouth 
by Robert Black, in 1831, and shortly after, another was started by Alpheus 
Russell. 

Aside from Dr. Garland, the earliest physician to locate here was Dr. 
Ethan Cabanis. Dr. Alpheus Russell came in 1831. Both these physicians 
located at Monmouth. 

John Wilton, the first lawyer in Warren county, located on his farm, 
in what is now Kelley township. He was soon followed by John H. 
Mitchell and Ivory Quinby. 

The first recorded marriage was that of Samuel L. White to Huldah 
Jennings, on May 10, 1881, the ceremony being performed by John B. 
Talbott, Justice of the Peace. 

On Saturday, June 11, L831, the County Commissioners divided the 



mSTOEY OF WAEEEN COUNTY. 117 

county into three election districts, or precincts. The first of these had for 
its voting place the Court House, Monmouth ; the seco:id was called Yel- 
low Banks district, and the place of voting was at the house of William 
Cousland ; and the third was known as Ellison district, where the voters 
met at the house of Paris Smith. At this same time, a license was granted 
to William Cousland to keep an inn — the first one in Warren county — at 
Yellow Banks. He paid two and one-half dollars for the license, which, as 
in all such instruments, specified his rates for entertainment. 

Stephen Phelps was also granted leave, on pajanent of $10, to sell 
merchandise at the same place. He was also collector of the taxes, and 
li^ving about this time collected the sum of $208, he sent the same to 
Springfield by the hand of John B. Talbott, who received $.5 for his 
services. 

The county was beginning to rapidly fill with settlers, and at every 
meeting of the Commissioners, several petitions would be presented to grant 
the opening of roads throughout the county. By March, 1832, eight road 
districts were established, and to aid in county affairs, a tax of one-half per 
cent, was levied on all personal property, which at that time included sev- 
eral negro slaves. 

It will be borne in mind by all, that at one time human slavery was 
allowed in Hlinois, and was the cause of considerable discussion and no 
little trouble before it was banished from the State. There is on record in 
the county offices the wise and humane action of Mr. Joseph Murphy, who 
came into court October 2, 1834, and stated that he desired to liberate a 
negro man he owned, who wished to go to Liberia. He gave bonds in the 
sum of one thousand dollars to secure the county against any loss sustained 
in keeping the slave should he fail to go to Liberia or to provide for him- 
self. Mr. Murphy allowed the man to take the name of Eichard Murphy, 
and set him at liberty. Richard remained in Warren county, became quite 
wealthy, and is now one of the best citizens therein. This curse to human- 
ity was never allowed to any extent here, and only in. its mildest forms, and 
in many instances the slave was as well or better treated than the average 
hired man at the present time. The majority of persons thus held were 
brought here by their owners as servants from the South, and were gener- 
ally considered as such. 

In the autumn of 1832, Daniel MclSTeil was re-appointed County Clerk, 
and Elijah Davidson continued as County Treasurer. In order to secure 
warmth during the coming winter, to the county officers, a stone chimney 
was ordered to be built to the court-house. It might be interesting to 
pause here and notice the jail, which had been by this time completed. It 
was built of hewed logs, each one foot square, the lower story having double 
walls. An excavation was made in the ground two feet deep and the floor 
laid at the bottom of this. It was composed of two layers of oak logs 
hewed one foot square, the upper \ajer crossing the lower, thereby making 
a floor two feet of solid oak. The walls for seven rounds high were the 
same in strength and thickness, the ends of the logs being dove-tailed into 
each other. On the upper surface of the Stiventh round the upper floor 
was laid. This was of the same material and size as the floor beneath, save 
it was one thickness closely joined. In the centre a heavy trap door was 
made, securely fastened by a strong pad-lock. The roof was of the firmest

composing the wall, iron bars one inch in thickness, were securely fastened 
crossing this window up and down and crossways. At the centre of one end 
of the upper story, a double oak j^lank dooi- was placed, and a stairway lead- 
ing from it to the ground built. The prisoners were conducted up these 
stairs into the upper story, when the trap door was raised, and they 
descended by a movable stairway or ladder to the cell beneath. Here they 
were secure. This jail was probably one of the best of the kind ever built 
in the west, and was the work of Jacob Rust, the lowest bidder for the con- 
tract. It was completed and accepted May 4th, 1833. 

On June 29, 1840, this jail was sold to L. C. Woodwprth for $62.50, 
he with C. L. Merrill, having secured the contract to erect the present 
structure for $2,831.66f. It was accepted the following year, and has since 
undergone considerable repair, and will, in all probability, soon be replaced 
by one fully equal to any emergency. 

The old log court-house was occupied about seven years. In 1835, at 
the March meeting of the County Commissioners, James McCallon, Elijah 
Davidson, and Daniel McNeil, Jr., were appointed a committee to prepare 
a plan for a new one. These submitted a plan for a frame structure thirty 
feet long, twenty feet wide, and one and a half story high. June 1st the 
contract for its construction was let, and Daniel McNeil appointed superin- 
tendent. The cost was to be $773.00. The old court-house was sold to 
James Hodgen for twenty-one dollars. The new court-house was never 
finished, and was used in the incomplete condition one or two years. On 
December 8, 1836, the county Board ordered advertisements to be inserted 
in the Peoria Champion, Quincy Aryus, Bounty Law Register, Sanga- 
mon Journal, and the Illinois Patriot, for the best plans for a coiirt-house, 
to be built of brick and stone. The present court-house was the result. It 
is forty by fifty feet in dimensions, two stories high, and, when constructed, 
had an east and south front. The latter is now closed. The contract for 
its construction was let to Cornelius Tunnicliff" for $8,998. He commenced 
the work, drew the first installment of pay — $1,000 — and left. His securi- 
ties at once entered upon the work and completed the building. It, as well 
as the jail, standing immediately west, is becoming inadequate to the wants 
of the county, and a commodious structure will, ere long, occupy its place. 

The territory now comprising Henderson county was, prior to 1841, 
included in Warren county. The residents of that section, especially those 
in the western parts, complained of the long distance to the seat ot justice, 
and made some efforts to have it removed to a more central locality. Many 
of them desired it should be placed at Oquawka, on the Mississippi river, the 
old county seat. This would not do. To settle all matters, the western 
part of the county, including 164,608 acres of land, was set ofi' into another 
county, and called Henderson. The county seat was located at Oquawka. 
Until late years this place was generally known as Yellow Banks, and as 
such is often spoken ot in these pages. It is well to state that the latter 
name is simply the English translation of the Indian name the town still 
bears. 

In 1849 the first vote on a township organization was held. It was 
decided in the afiirmative, and the County Commissioners appointed Joseph 
Paddox, John C. Bond and Ira F. M. Butler a committee to divide the 
county into townships. This committee performed this duty, and for one or 
two years the county was governed accordingly. A decision of the Supreme 
Court, however, decided the act illegal, on account of the insufiicient num- 



HISTORY 01* WAEEEir COUNTf. 119 

ber of votes, and the organization was abandoned. In 1850, Mr. C. K. 
Smith presented a petition signed by many citizens, asking for a vote to be 
lield at the jSTovember election. At the election the organization was 
defeated. Another petition was presented in 1852 by Mr. Eobert Gilmore, 
and again defeated at the polls. On September 12, 1853, Mr. James 
McCoy presented a petition signed by more than fifty voters, asking that 
at the coming general election, in November, the vote be once more taken. 
This election was held on November 8th, and thirteen hundred and ninety- 
six votes were cast; seven hundred and sixty-eight were in favor, and the 
county commissioners soon after appointed John C. Bond, Samuel Hallam 
and Robert Gilmore a committee to divide the county into townships. This 
committee formed them as they now exist, save that a few of the names 
have since been changed. 

The most prominent roads were laid out in the early settlement of the 
county. 

These wagon roads have, in a great measure, lost their usefulness, being 
superceded by railroads, biit are yet used as thoroughfares. In December, 
1834, a road was laid out, or " viewed," as it is termed in all the records, 
from Monmouth to Macomb. The following year, from Monmouth to 
Knoxville. This same year the law requiring all able-bodied men over 
twenty-one years of age to work two days on the roads was put in force, and 
had a salutary effect on the travelling facilities. Also, during the summer, 
the State road from Knoxville through Warren county to New Boston was 
viewed hj Erastus Denison and Ephriam Gilmore. A route had been for 
some time established to Rock Island, and to other points, and after the 
location of the State road, the improvements in this regard were generally 
local. 

The first railroad in the county was built in 1854, and finished to Mon- 
mouth on January 1st, 1855. The charter was obtained for a road under the 
title of the " Peoria and Oquawka Rail Road, but npon the refusal on the 
part of Oquawka to give aid to the road, Burlington raised the sum re- 
quired, and in consequence the route was changed, and Burlington became 
what Oquawka might have been, a city of great commercial importance, 
and a railroad centre for all roads through Iowa. The Chicago and Quincy 
Rail Road was completed to Galesburg at that time, and that company leased 
or obtained the privilege of running their trains over the Peoria & Oquawka 
line to Burlington, and in a short time after purchased the entire line, 
when the name was changed to the Chicago & Burlington Rail Road. As 
soon as the Quincy branch was completed to Galesburg, 110 miles, it 
assumed the present title, by which it is known all over the world. 

This county, when it was asked for |50,000 to aid in its construction, 
gave it, but the measure was strongly opposed on the ground that such a 
road would never pay, as the road coiild, it was said, take off in one day all 
Warren county could produce for shipment in a year. This was an argu- 
ment that it would not benefit the coimty for the sum required, and as for 
the passenger traffic, it was said that a stage passed through Monmouth 
from Peoria three times a week, and that they were never half full. Where 
would the railroad get its support ? 

When the road was finished, there was more freight at Monmouth 
waiting shipment than the most sanguine had dreamed, and the result was, 
the county began increasing rapidly in population and improvement, until 
it ranks as one of the greatest shipping counties on the line of road. 



120 mSTOET OP WAEEEN COTTNTY. 

In the summer of 1870, the Kockford, Rock Island and St. Louis rail- 
road was completed through the county, giving direct communication with 
St. Louis on the south and Rock Island on the north. The county gave 
largely to assist in the construction of this road, and has derived good ben- 
efits from it. It has lately come under the control of the C. B. & Q. 

The railroad company' intend soon to erect a fine depot at the crossing, 
to take the place of the one lately destroyed by fire. This is much needed, 
as the travel to this point is very large. 

A narrow gauge railroad is now projected from a point in Illinois, 
opposite Burlington, thence through Henderson, AVarren, Fulton and Peoria 
counties, via Monmouth and Canton, to Pekin and Peoria. At Pekin con- 
nection will be made with the Rantoul and Eastern for Toledo, Ohio. 

A company, with a capital stock of $1,000,000, is already formed, and 
received their charier on itfovember 20, 1875. It is largely composed of 
the best business men of the county, and when completed will be a source 
of great benefit to the people along the line.

OLD SETTLERS' OEGANIZATIOJST. 

Pursuant to a call published in the Warren and Henderson county 
papers, many of the old settlers in tlie two counties met at Young America, 
on Saturday afternoon, January 27, 1872. The meeting was called to order 
by Col. S. Hutchinson, who stated the object to be the forming of a per- 
manent organization of the old settlers of the two counties, and to make 
arrangements for a social re-union, to be held on the 22d day of February. 
All persons who had settled in the two counties previous to the forma- 
tion of Henderson county, were admitted to membership, save the editors 
of the papers in each of the counties, who were admitted to honorary mem- 
bership. It was also decided that the officers should be a president, vice-presi- 
dents, secretary and treasurer. At the meeting held February 22d, committees 
were appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws and to select officers for 
the ensuing year. The time for the annual re-union was fixed to be on the 
first Wednesday in June, of each year. 

On this day the first re-nnion was held, at which time the constitution 
and by-laws were approved. The re-union was held at Young America, 
and a most enjoyable spirit prevailed. The old settlers gave many interest- 
ing accounts of their early life, and privations endured in the settling of 
the counties. It was ordered to change the time of meeting until the first 
Wednesday in September, hereafter, which is the annual day for the 
re-nnions. 

These re-unions have been regularly held since. Nearly all the old 
settlers in the two counties are now members, and take an active part in 
sustaining the organization. The constitution is now so amended that all 
persons in the counties are eligible for membership who have resided therein 
thirty years. 

The present officers are : President, Col. Samuel Hutchinson; Yice- 
President, James Tucker; Secretary, W. A. Grant; Corresponding Sec- 
retary, J. B. Patterson; Treasurer, Wm. Hanna.

128 HISTOEY OF -WAEEEN COtTNTT. 



THE OLDEST CHUKCH IN WAEREN COUNTY. 

The first organized church in this county was near what is called 
" Sugar-Tree Grove," in Hale township. It was called the " Associate 
Presbyterian Church of Henderson;" the latter name from its supposed 
proximity to the Henderson river, seven miles distant. Some persons of 
this denomination, it seems, had settled in this vicinity as early as 1828, 
from Ohio. Earlier still, persons of the same church connection had settled 
in the southern part of this State, and in Missouri. From some of those 
in the latter State, a petition for supply of gospel ordinances was sent to the 
Associate Synod at its meeting in May, 1825. The result was, that the 
Synod resolved to occupy the States of Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. 
From this time forward, missionaries were appointed to labor a part of each 
year in each of these States. In 1830, Eev. James McCarrel was appointed 
to what was then called the Western Mission, and in November of that 
year he organized Henderson congregation. This took place at the house 
of John Caldwell. The names of twenty-five persons are recorded, who 
were received as members at the organization, and are as follows : Adam 
Ritcliie, John Ritchie, Elizabeth Ritchie, Abigail Ritchie, Martha Ritchie, 
Jane Campbell, John Maley, John Kendall, Elizabeth Kendall, Samuel Gib- 
son, Elizabeth Gibson, James Junkin, Sarah Junkin, Martha Junkin, Ann 
Junkin, William Gibson, Matthew Ritchie, Caroline Ritchie, Adam Ritchie, 
Sen., John Ritchie, Jr., Sarah Junkin, David Findley, Jane Findley, Mar- 
garet Temple and John W. Caldwell. Not one of these is now a member of 
this church — only five are living — and these at, or near, Monmouth. The 
first eldei-s were : Adam Ritchie and John Caldwell. The firet pastor was 
Rev. James C. Bruce, from Ohio, who first began to receive support from 
the congregation Oct. 15, 1832, though he had preached here for some time 
previous as a missionary. He was installed pastor May 11, 1833,^ by Rev. 
Samuel Ingalls and Adam Ritchie, elder, who were appointed for that pur- 
pose by the Presbytery of Miami, Ohio, to which this church then belonged. 
This pastorale continued until Oct. 25, 184Y, after which the church was 
without a pastor for two years. On the 25th of Oct., 1819, Rev. John 
Scott, D. D., was installed pastor, and continued until 1868. The leading 
public event which occurred during this long pastorate, was the union of 
the Associate Reformed and Associate churches of the United States, form- 
ing the United Presbyterian Church. The union was consummated by the 
synods representing these churches at Pittsburgh, Pa., May 26, 1858, and 
afterward unanimously approved by this congregation. 

Sometime in the autumn of 1868, a call was made out for T. G. Mor- 
row, then a licentiate, and his ordination and installation as fiastor took 
place in April, 1869. This pastorate continued for three 3'ears. In the fall 
of 1873, Rev. David A. Wallace, D. D., president of Monmouth College, 
became pastor, and continued until tailing health from many laborious 
duties compelled him to resign in January, 1876. The present pastor is 
Rev. David McDill, D. D., professor in Monmouth College. 

The first house of worship in this county was built by this congrega- 
tion in 1832. It was made of logs, and was 21 by 30 feet. It was used for 
worship until 1839, when it was far too small to accommodate the congre- 
gation. Some persons often came as far as twenty miles to attend church. 



HISTORY OF WAEEEN COUNTY. 129 

In 1837 a move was made to build a large brick church, near the first. The 
brick were made upon the ground near by, and heavy foundation walls of 
stone, three feet thick, were laid, upon which arose the spacious edifice 50 
by 64 feet — a wonder for those days — which cost over $4,000. This house, 
too, was often filled to overflowing in those early days. It was used for 
worship for thirty-five years — from 1839 to 1874. The present neat and 
elegant structure, 40 by 60 feet, built in 1874, stands near a beautiful grove, 
and is hardly surpassed in its attractiveness by any edifice in the county. 
It cost, including fixtures and furnace, $4,252, and is all paid. 

The present membership of this church is 120, and the congregation is 
in a prosperous condition. This church has received, since its organization, 
about 700 members. Many have taken certificates to aid in the formation 
of other churches. As an outgrowth from this "oldest church in the 
county," and from Cedar Creek church, there are at the pi'esent time nine 
United Presbyterian churches, with about 2,000 members. 

The Cedar Creek church, in Sumner township, was organized July 4, 
1835, as Associate Keformed, by Rev. Dr. Blakie, now of Boston, Mass. 
It was first called by the very appropriate name, " Sharon Church," and 
was the first of this denomination in this county, and probably for many 
contiguous counties in this i-egion. 

The following names are found upon the oldest record as the persons 
constituting the church at the time organized : John Giles, ruling elder ; 
James Giles, John P. Giles, Hugh Martin, Prudence Giles, Nancy Giles, 
Susannah Giles, Margaret Giles, Mary L. Giles, Susan Giles, Jane Giles, 
John Williamson, James Campbell, Mary Findley, James Findley, Nancy 
Pobinson, George Jay and Mary A. Jay — eighteen in all. Dr. Blakie had 
been sent out as a missionary of the church into the new settlements of the 
West, and when he found a few who had been members of churches where 
they had previously lived, he gathered them into a church. 

Prior to his coming, Kev. John Wallace, also a missionary, from Mon- 
roe county, Ya., had preached several times at the houses of some of the 
settlers, and was employed by the congregation, after the organization, as 
stated supply for a portion of his time from 1835 to 1840. The first elders 
were J. C. McCrery, Wm. Walker and Maj. John Brown. Pev. James C. 
Porter came here in 1840, and was the first pastor— installed in 1841, and 
continued until near the time of his death, which occurred Nov. 15, 1S63. 
It was during this pastorate that the membership largely increased. Also, 
in 1858, this church joined in the union and thus became United Presby- 
terian. 

Pev. John A. Peynolds began his work in this church in August, 1803, 
and remained pastor until July, 1872, nine years. 

The present pastor is Pev. J. M. Atchison, who commenced his labors 
here Dec. 1, 1872. 

This congregation has built three houses of worship. The first was of 
logs, built in 1836, and stood about two miles northeast from Little York. 
This was occupied until 1845, when a larger and better edifice was needed, 
and a frame structure was erected near the first, and was occupied as a house 
of worship over twenty years. The present commodious house was built in 
1866, cost about $4,000, and stands in a beautiful grove, three miles north- 
east from Little York. This congregation also own a pleasant parsonage, 
situated one mile north of the church. Not one of the original members 
is now connected with this congregation; only two are known to be living — 



130 HISTORY OF WAEREN COTTNTT. 

Mrs. Wallace, widow of Eev. John Wallace, and Mrs. Jamison, now in 
Florida. The present membership is 140. The total contributions for last 
yeai', as reported, for all church purposes were about $2,500, averaging 
nearly twenty dollars per member, showing a very generous liberality. This 
congregation is in a growing and prosperous condition, has a flourishing 
Sabbath-school, averaging 110, Superintendent Zenas Hogue, and a large 
weekly district prayer meeting, well attended by old and young. 



THE COUNTY FAEM. 

Until the year 1857, the poor in the county were kept by the townships. 
They were generally given to the "lowest bidder," as it was termed, to the 
one who would maintain them at the least expense to the county. In 
almost all cases these were the relatives of the person so kept. This 
method was unsatisfactory. In June of that year the county, through Por- 
ter Phelps and Hiram Norcross as its agents, purchased one hundred and 
twenty acres of Luther Dickson for $3,360, and on this tract a house was 
erected at an expense of .$2,000, for this class of persons. 

Soon after Albert Mitchell, Esq., was appointed Superintendent, and 
in 1859 the rules regulating this institution were adopted. 

The institution is now in a good condition,occupying a commodious frame 
house. The farm is about five miles southwest of Monmouth, and at 
present sustains quite a number of inmates. 



SCHOOL COMMISSIONEES, SCHOOL LANDS, TEUSTEES AND 
COUNTY SUPEEINTENDENTS. 

The initiatory steps in the Educational development of Warren County 
consisted in the election of the proj^er officers for disposing of school lands, 
the custodians of the funds raised, and the organization of districts. The 
first event in this direction occuri-ed at a regular meeting of the County 
Commissioners' Court, held in Monmouth, Sept. 5th, 1831. This court 
consisted of Peter Butler and John B. Talbot, County Commissioners; 
Daniel McNeil, County Clerk; and James Eyei-son, Sheriff. Alexis Phelps 
was appointed School Commissioner, and executed his bond for $12,000, 
with Peter Butler, John B. Talbot and Sheldon Lockwood sureties, which 
was approved and filed Sept. 7, 1831. At the same term of this court, 
Eobert Kendall, James Murphy and Daniel McNeil were appointed Trustees. 

These officers proceeded at once to sub-divide the school section into 
lots from 1 to 25 inclusive, and pursuant to public notice, said lands and lots 
were oifered at public sale Oct. 27, 1831. The aggregate amount of lands 
and lots sold at auction on that day -was 200 acres, ranging in price from 
$1.25 to $1.62J per acre. The remainder of the section was sold at private 
sale, and the first annual report of the Commissioner shows, total amount 
received, $1,754.46; deducting expenses, net proceeds, $1,398.38. 

In the spring of 1832 the following persons were appointed Trustees of 
Sumner Township: Hugh Martin, Anthony Cannon and James Barton. 
Lands were oifered for sale Sept. 8, 1834. Eighty acres were sold to John 
G. Barton at $1.25 per acre. 



HISTORY OF WAEEEN COUNTY. 131 

In Floyd Township Trustees were appointed Dec. 2, 1833, as follows: 
Wm. "Whitman, John G. Plaley and Joseph Murphy. Land was sold ^ ept. 
8, 1834, to Alexander Davidson, Elijah Davidson, Carter Davidson and 
Josiali Whitman, 80 acres each, at $1.25 per acre. 

Trustees for Hale Township were appointed March 6, 1834: Wm. 
ISTash, Adam Ritchie and James Findlsy. Lands sold Sept. 8, 1834, to 
"William Nash 200 acres, David Turnbull 80 acres, each at $1.25 per acre. 

Coldbrook Township Trustees, appointed June 2, 1834. Lands first 
offered for sale May 1, 1835. 

Greenbush Trustees appointed April 21, 1834. Lands sold March T, 1836 

Berwick lands sold Dec. 7, 1835. 

Tompkins sales were made March 19, 1836. 

Ellison lands sold March 31, 1836, and here terminates the official 
records of Alexis Phelps, the first school commissioner of this county. He 
was succeeded by "Wyat S. Berry, who sold the school lands of Swan Town- 
ship for $4,070.90, Jan. 15, 1838. 

The next sale of lands was the 16th Sec. of Eoseville Township, July 
29, 1839, for $1,029.60. Then lands of Kelly Township, Sept. 28, 1840, 
for $1,433.10. Samuel "Wood was next appointed School Commissioner, 
and he sold a part of the lands of Spring Grove Township, Dec. 14, 1843. 
This officer was succeeded by James G. Madden, during whose term of office, 
by act of the Legislature, the School Commissioner became ex-ojflcio Super- 
intendent of schools. 

The following comprises a list of school commissioners and ex-officio 
superintendents: w. B. Jenks, Wm. F. Smith, A. H. Tracy, V. S. Har- 
baugh, Willis B. Greer, F. B. Bond, Wm. H. Pierce, A. B. Cox and Ira B. 
Harsh, whose term of office expired in Dec. 1865. By act of the Legisla- 
ture of 1865, Sec. 11 of the school law was so amended that the office of 
school commissioner terminated, and created the office of County Superin- 
tendent. G. I. Willson was the first elected to this office, and continued the 
allotted time, four years. In 1870 J. B. Donnell, the present incumbent, 
succeeded to this office. 



SCHOOLS. 

The low rate at which the school lands were sold — being in most cases 
not more than six per cent, of what was their real value a few years later 
— ^failed to create an endowment sufficient to establish and maintain a sys- 
tem of public schools. Hence schools were not "free," and while M^e had 
all the machinery of a public school system, a smah per cent, only of the 
expense was paid from the pubKc funds. In order, then, to maintain schools, 
rate-bills were established. 

The first school-house built in this county was at Sugar-Tree Grove, in 
Hale Township, in 1832. It was made of logs, and was 14x16 ft. For 
windows there was one log sawed out, and small panes of glass placed in 
around the room. The floor was puncheon, as also were the seats and 
desks. This house was used for school for about eight years, when it was 
burned. The first teacher in the county taught this school, Miss Martha 
Jankin, from Ohio. People came from the distance of four and five miles, 
showing much interest under the difficulties experienced in early education, 
as in other matters. 



132 HISTORY or WAEEEN COTTNTT. 

On March 6, 1834, School District No. 1, Monmouth Township 
was organized, consisting of twelve sections in said township, and fonr sec- 
tions in Hale Township. We give below a verbatim copy of the first 
annual reports of Trustees ot Monmouth District No. 1, filed in October, 
1834. 

"There are in this district fifty children over five and under twenty-one 
years of age. There has been a school kept three months since the organ- 
ization of this district. Twenty-five children have received tuition. The 
probable expense will be forty-iive dollars. 

GiLBEET TuKNBULL, \ m, .f 5) 

James McCallon, f 
This school was "kept" in a log house with a dirt floor, and used for 
the common purpose of church, court house and school. It was situated on 
the southeast corner of Main and North streets, and afterwai-ds used for a 
blacksmith shop. In 1835 a small frame school house was built on the 
present site of the M. E. Church, but by no means were all the educational 
advantages afibrded the youth in those days, to be found in the public 
schools. In fact, thej' were not jjrovided till about twenty years later. It 
was at best but little cheaper nor moi-e efiicient than the private or select 
schools. Good and efiicient teachers were sometimes employed, but after 
serving one or two terms, it was common for them to throw ofi' the 
restraints of a School Board, and set up independently. Among the earlier 
teachers whose names are remembered, are Messrs. McElray, Crandall,. 
Weltman, Ivellum, Kandall and Gilbert Turubull. The first female teacher 
was Mrs. Montgomery, who taught in her own room in a house on the 
present site of B. Parkes dwelling. This room was afterwards rented to 
Miss Paine, now Mrs. Gibson, who taught successfully for a number of 
terms. 

Mr. Wellman, who seems to be most distinctly remembered as a peda- 
gogue, taught in a log Louse, on the northeast corner of Broad.way and 
West Avenue. Other rooms were occupied, from time to time K. D. 
Hammond was the last teacher to occupy the old pioneer school house. 
Robert Gibson taught at the same time, on the north side of the square, 
where now stands J. B. Martin's market house. In 1848, the pioneer house 
was removed, and a more pretending edifice erected on the same ground. 
It had now become the duty of teachers to obtain certificates of qualifica- 
tion from the Commissioner, who was by law also Superintendent of Schools. 
In 1854, a Mr. Gray, teacher in the public school, abandoned it, "because," 
to use his own words, "it didn't pay." At the same time, W. B. Jenks 
was teaching a flourishing private school in the Presbyterian church, and 
Miss Julia Madden another in the Christian church. The public school 
was revived again by Mr. A. H. Tracy, who opened his first term with 
nineteen pupils, and closed with ninety-one. Mr. Tracy, assisted by his 
wife, taught with success for several terms. In October, 1855, all public 
schools were made free, by virtue of the two mill tax. 

And here dates a new era in the history of schools of the county and 
state. The first eifect of this change was to kill out the private or select 
schools, which had been so largely relied i;pon, and to more than double the 
number of pupils seeking instruction. Public attention was at once directed 
to the necessity of providing more ample accommodations ; and new school 
houses became the order of the day. Something more than ample funds and 
good houses was required to meet the growing responsibilities, resulting from 



HISTOET OF WAEEEN COUNTY. 133 

tlie new order of things, and what was true of Warren county, was equally so 
of the state at large. At a state convention of education, held in Chicago, 
in December, 1856, much interest and new life was given to the system of 
public instruction, resulting from its deliberations. Among those who took 
active part in discussions, were Newton Bateman, Wm. Bross, Simeon 
Wright, Supt. Wells, and Prof. Turner. At this convention it was deter- 
mined to employ a state agent, for one year, to labor throughout the state 
in the interest of the public schools ; whose salary was $1,S00, to be paid

John A. Gordon, A. H. Tracy, and D. R. Stevens. Prof Simeon Wright 
was selected for the work of state agent, and Warren county enjoyed his 
services for a number of days. The result proved all the most sanguine

public opinion took a long stride in the direction of progress and reform,

WAEREF COUITTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 

The Warren Coimty Agricultural Society was organized August 7, 
1853, at a public meeting held at the court house in Monmouth. The 
following temporary ofificers were then selected : Samuel Hallam, President ; 
J. G. Madden, Secretary ; G. W. Palmer, Vice President ; F. B. Weakfey, 
Treasurer. The first annual election was held September 4, 1852, resulting 
as follows : Samuel Hallam, President ; Robt. Gibson, Yice President ; J. 
G. Madden, Secretary ; Wm. Billings, Treasurer. 

The first annual Fair was held in the court house on Friday, Oct. 15, 
1853. One thousand people were in attendance. The premiums consisted 
of certificates, no cash prizes being offered. From this small beginning 
the Society's annual exhibition has advanced to a position as one of the best 
County Fairs in the state. Over $3,000 are annually offered in premiums ; 
the Fair is continued four days, and the total yearly attendance is about 
twenty-five thousand. Fair week is observed as a general holiday, and 
entire families flock in from all parts of Warren and adjacent counties. 
The Society owns extensive grounds, and suitable and commodious build- 
ings, valued at about $12,000. 

The present oflicers of the association are : President, John B. 
McGinnis ; Vice President, A. H. Swain ; Secretary, Geo. C. Rankin ; 
Treasurer, Robt. M. Stevenson. Executive Committee : R. S. Patton, C. L. 
Buck, C. Hardin, L. D. Robinson, J. T. Richards, H. D. Harding, J. E. 
Alexander, E. R. Houlton, L. H. Gilmore. 

The twentv-sixth annual Fair will occur September 11, 12, 13, and 14, 
1877. 

WARREI^ COUNTY LIBRARY AND READING ROOM ASSO- 
CIATION. 

This Library has resulted from a number of movements iu the direc- 
tion of a Public Library. The matter was considered and discussed in a 
variety of forms, lor j'ears before it reached a successful organization. 

In 1867 the attempt was made to start a Library as a joint stock 



134 HISTORY OF WAEEEN COUNTY. 

association ; but the subscriptions were insufficient. The same year, the 
Evangelical Union of Monmouth, composed of representatives of the 
churches iu Monmouth, took the subject under consideration, and gave it a 
new impulse. After consultation with many citizens, who were willing to 
assist, it was determined to form a corporation independent of the Evan- 
gelical Union. 

It was evident that a Public Library, such as was demanded to meet 
the wants, common and special, of this intelligent community, would need 
a large amount of money given for this purpose. Accordingly, a Trust 
Corporation was organized, after the manner of many of the oldest and 
most successful institutions of the East, for benevolent and educational 
purposes. The Constitution and Kules were drafted b}^ Hon. Ivory Quimby, 
whose sound judgment and deep interest in the project assured a good 
beginning in this important respect. He also provided a room, free of 
expense, until his death. 

Twenty-five persons became responsible for the sum of twenty-five 
hundred dollars, for the purpose of sustaining a Reading Eoom during two 
years. These orim^nal In^-orj^orators and Directors were the following: 
J. E. Alexander, F. E. Armsby, Draper Babcock, F. M. Bruner, W. G. 
Bone, J. S. Clark, J. L. Dryden, Chancy Hardin, Eobert Holloway, A. H. 
Holt, J. M. Jameison, Wm. Laferty, James Long, E. C. Matthews, W. P. 
Pressly, D. P. Phelps, Ivory Quimby, N. A. Eankin, J. K. Eipley, T. H. 
Eogers, E. E. Smith, A. H. Swain, Wm. Smiley, D. A. Wallace, J. E. 
Webster. 

A Eeading Eoom, well supplied with papers and periodicals was 
opened June 1st, 186S, under the name of the Monmouth Eeading Room 
and Library. This was sustained for two years. No books were bought, 
as there were no funds for that purpose. 

During all this time, unknown to any one, these small beginnings were 
closely considered by a friend, who was only waiting to see the evidences 
of permanent success and usefulness. Early in the year 1870, Mr. W. P. 
Pressly made an offer of the gift of a Library Building, which he erected 
the same year. This building was given with the condition, that the net 
rents of the two storerooms on the first floor should be used to buy books, 
and the second story should be used as a Library Hall and Eeading Eoom. 
He expressed the desire that the plan of the Library should be enlarged, so 
as to benefit the country as well as the city. The following are his published 
words: "Insomuch as under God we are principally indebted to the 
citizens of the country for the means to be used in its construction, if for 
no higher motive, gratitude towards them bids us now remember them as 
a party to be benefited, and thus made a party interested in patronizing and 
sustaining their own Institution." It was therefore legally incorporated 
as "The Warren County Library and Eeading Room Association," and 
special provisions were made for the benefit of readers in the country. 

The same year the Board of County Supervisors united in the perma- 
nent founding of the Library, by making a grant there*:o "Of all rents, 
profits and issues hereafter accruing from the Seminary Block," and receiv- 
ing the right in the Constitution of the Association to appoint one of the 
Trustees. Dr. Henry Tubbs has held that position ever since, by repeated 
appomtments from the Board of Supervisors. Under his judicious super- 
vision, the Constitution was amended, making equitable provision for the 
entire county. 



HISTORY OF WAEEEN COtTNTT. 135 

The income from the County Grant is required to he devoted to the 
purchase of books, most of which must be in the Department of Agricult- 
ure and the Practical Arts. In this way, according to the Charter, any 
Department can be founded, bearing the name of the founder, and restricted 
to any special class of books. 

The plan of extending the use of the Library to the country, has been 
eminently a success. It is used in every township in the county ; and it 
has brought within its sphere a population sufficiently large to support and 
use a strong and well equipped library. For this purpose the population of 
the city alone is not sufficient, as the general experience of libraries has 
shown. The hand that gave to the Library this opportunity for extended 
iisefulness has continued to strengthen and cherish it. It has received 
from him, again and again, for the purpose of printing a catalogue, for the 
enlargement of tlie lot, and for the increase of the endowment tund. This 
community has never received from any other citizen as large a public gift 
as it has from Mr. Pressly. 

As the Library was founded for the benefit of all, it has been sustained 
and favored by all classes of citizens in town and country. The young and 
the old are constantly to be seen at its tables. The ladies, by various efforts, 
furnished the room, and none frequent it more than thej^ Farmers for ten 
or fifteen miles around use the books and magazines in their homes. Pro- 
fessional men and business men have given freely to its support in money, 
and what is equally important, in careful attention to its interests. Fore- 
most among such should be named the late and lamented Wm. Laferty, 
who was for eight years its treasurer. Each year he gave it a generous gift, 
and he gave to it much time and aifectionate attention. His practical busi- 
ness ability and excellent judgment have been of untold value to it during 
those years when its character was forming. 

Much of the work which has made the Library successful has been 
gratuitously done by the officers, trustees, directors and various commit- 
tees. The business matters have alwaj's been in the hands of careful busi- 
ness men in the Committees on the Building and on Finance, and on the 
Auditing Committee. The selection of reading matter is done by a com- 
mittee representing both town and county. A committee on Book Notices 
calls attention through the press to the best reading. A committee of 
Reference give their aid in the room to readers desiring information or 
guidance. A cataloguing committee does the current cataloguing and pre- 
pares the bulletins. 

The most appi-oved methods of library management are in use. A 
printed catalogue was issued in 1874-, and monthly bulletins have been 
printed since, showing what accessions have been made. An indicator 
shows what volumes or magazines are on the shelves, and what are in use. 
A card catalogue has just been constructed, from the bulletins, to supple- 
ment the catalogue of 1874. Special manuscript bulletins ar-?, posted iip in 
the room from time to time, giving lists of works on subjects of present 
interest. Iveaders are urged to recommend books for purchase, with the 
assurance that such will be bought unless good reason exists to the con- 
trary. New books are bought each month. The reading is fresh, popular 
and wholesome. The selections are made with careful fairness toward all 
classes of readers, and careful regard for the good of the community. That 
which is worthless or immoral is not bought, or is withdrawn if accidentally 
obtained. 



1S6 HISTOBT OF WAEEEN COUNTY. 

The proportion of books bought in different departments is determined 
mainly by the reading and requests of adult readers, except where special 
funds are pj'ovided for some department, as is the case for works on agricul- 
ture and the useful arts. According to this rule the selections are about 
one-third in science, arts, philosophy and general literatiire; one-third in 
historj^ biography and travels; one-third in fiction and poetry. 

The number of volumes in the library (April 2, 1877,) is 4,850. Of 
these 600 have been donated by citizens, and 4,250 purchased. For this 
purjjose the Pressly rents produce one thousand dollars per year, and the 
county grant about three hundred dollars per year. About 800 volumes are 
added each year. One hundred and twenty magazines and papers are regu- 
larly received. Many of these are gifts from friends. The last year's cir- 
culation of books was 16,564. The daily attendance in the reading room 
averages about 120. About 1,000 persons use the libi-ary. The permanent 
funds have increased each year by donations and sale of perpetual tickets. 
That which is received by gift goes to the permanent upbuilding of the in- 
stitution. The small charge made for the use of the library is only intended 
to cover current expenses, as salaries, fuel^ etc. The building and books are 
provided without exj^ense to readers. Many of the citizens of the county 
have obtained perpetual tickets, giving to their families the continual use of 
the library. About one-half the settled ministers of the countj^ now have 
free use of the library by the kindness of friends who have purchased this 
right for them. This privilege is gladly extended in this way to any person 
or class for whom tickets are provided, either annual or perpetual. The 
librar}' has one price and one rnle for all. The charge is as low as it can 
safely be made. But there is no limit to the extent to which perpetual free 
tickets can be endowed by those who wish to benefit others, or their own 
families, in this way. 

It is needful to remember that only six years have ela25sed since the 
library was first opened for loan of books. Its plan includes many impor- 
tant features not yet attempted for want of sufficient means, such as a free 
reading room, branch libraries at other points, special departments of books 
not in general demand, fall and frequent catalogues, endowed free tickets, 
and methods of extending the usefulness of the institution. 

In all that has been done, this rule has been constantly followed : " Pay 
as you go." This principle has been impressed upon the enterprise by the 
prudent business men who have founded and prohibited the incurring of 
debts and the attempting of more than the means warrant. Thus a founda- 
tion has been laid, broad and deep, on which the future will build. Already, 
as a countj^ library it has no superior, and it has obtained a high name and 
position among the public libraries of the "West.

MONMOUTH. 

On the 27th day of January, 1831, the Legislature appointed John G. 
Sanborn, Hazen Bedell, and John McNeil, commissioners, to locate the 
permanent seat of justice, and on the 7th of April following the}^, in a 
sealed package, directed to the county commissioners : 

" Eespectfully report that we have located the seat of justice for said 
county, on the south-west quarter of Section twenty-nine, in township 
Eleven North, and range Two west of the Fourth principal meridian, 
which said quarter section is reported and believed to be Congress land, and 
they have given the said seat of justice the name of Monmouth." 

At the court, held June 12, 1831, orders for proposals to erect a court- 
house were issued as follows ; * * * " That said proposals be received, 
and contracts entered into for the purpose of building a court-house of 
twenty by twenty-two feet on the ground, nine feet between the sleepers 
and joists, to be built of logs hewn down inside and dut, and finished as 
the county commissioners shall direct, at the time and place aforesaid, and 
in such lot as they shall designate." 

The contract for building the court-house, after the usual manner of 
crying it, was let to Francis Kendall for the sum of fifty-seven dollars. To 
this he was allowed three dollars for additional expense incurred. The 
Commissioners' Court had met just six days previous to this, and ordered 
a sale of lots in the town of Monmouth. The site had been surveyed by the 
surveyor, Peter Butler, for which he received twenty-one cents per lot, 
three hundred and twenty stakes being required. The order for sale read 
as follows : " The highest and best bidder to be the purchaser, provided 
the large or out lots be not sold, unless the bid offered shall amount to at 
least two dollars per acre. 

"The bid on the in lots be not less than four dollars per lot, and those 
adjoining the public square not to be sold unless the bid offered be at least 
ten dollars per lot. 

"The lots will be offered, with a few exceptions, alternately, and the pur- 
chaser or purchasers will receive a certificate of purchase, and required to 
give three separate notes of equal payments with approved security, pay- 
able in twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months, subject to a discount of 



142 HISTOEX OF WAEEEN COUNTY. 

twelve and a half per cent, on all moneys paid for said lots before due, cal- 
culating from the time paid ; also subject to a discount of twelve and a 
half per cent, on the amount or price of each lot, on which a comfortable 
cabin or dwelling-house, store, grocerj?, or mechanic's shop shall be erected 
and finished suitable to live in, within one year from the sale of said lot." 

At this sale, held on June 6th, forty-six purchases were made and 
recorded, aggregating in value $965.62-J-. 

At the Special Term of the Commissioners' Court, held July 9, 1830, 
it was 

" On motion, ordered. That the temporary county seat ,of justice, or 
place of holding County Commissioners courts and Circuit courts, for the 
county of Warren, be held (until the permanent seat be located) at the 
upper house of Mr. Alexis Phelps, at the Yellow Banks, now Oquawka, Hen- 
derson county, on fractional section Fifteen, in town Eleven north of Eange 
Five West." 

The court-house was ready for occupancy early in the summer, and the 
records (what few there were) were at once taken there. During the sum- 
mer and autumn but six buildings were erected, beside the court-house 
and jail. The former occupied the lot afterwards purchased by 
Capt. D. T. Denman, and on which his residence stood, while the latter 
was situated on the lot afterwards occupied by the wagon shop of William 
T. Henry. 

The first settlers were Daniel McNeil, Joel Hargrove, and Elijah Da- 
vidson, of whom one, the latter, is now living. 

The first mentioned of these persons opened the pioneer store of Mon- 
mouth; Daniel MclSleil, the second; Stapp and Berry, the third, and the 
fourth by McCallon and Gibson. 

To open a grocery at that time, it was necessary to obtain a town 
license, in which generally was specified the prices to be charged for articles 
used in -the keeping of customers. It appears that these trades people were 
accustomed to often combine the privilege of entertaining travelers with the 
grocery business, as there is on record in the county ofiice many items like 
the following : 

" For eacli meal victuals, - - - 35 cents. 

" For each night's lodging, - - - 6^ cents. 

" For horse kept over night, - - - 25 cents. 

" For horse feed, . . . . 123^ cents. 

" For 3^ pint whiskey, gin, rum, wine or cordial, 12J^ cents. 
" For j| pint peach, French or apple brandy, 25 cents." 

The above " scale of prices " was granted on November 25, 1835, when 
Warren county contained, according to a census taken then, 2,623 inhabi- 
tants, and was twenty-six miles broad and thirty-six miles long; and when 
Monmouth contained but seven houses, according to some authorities, and 
about eighty inhabitants, although, by the close of the year 1837, there 
were eighty houses and 400 inhabitants. 

At the December term of the County Commissioners Court, in 1834, 
the first license to keep a tavern in Monmouth was granted to James M. 
Garrison, who gave a bond of $200, and paid for this license $5.00. The fol- 
lowing were the rates fixed in the license : 

" Each meal of victuals, .... 35 cents. 

"Lodging pernight, ..... 133^ cents. 

" Or if single bed be demanded, - - - 63^ cents. 

" Keeping horse per night, r . - - 35 cents. 



HISTORY OF WAEEEN COUNTi-. 143 

" Single feed for liorse, - - . - . 121^ cents. 

" Each lialf pint of wine, rum, gin or brandy of any kind, 25 cents. 

" (Less quantity in same proportion.) 

" Eacli lialf pint of wliiskey, . . . . 123>^ cents. 

" Eacli gill of wliiskey, . . . . 614: cents." 

The licenses for opening stores were generally from seven to ten dollars 
and were renewable each year. S. Phelps & Go. were granted one at the 
June term, 1835, for $8.00. Elijah Davidson, the first grocery man, was 
given his license December 5, 1831, for $2.50. He was appointed county 
treasurer in the spring of 1832, and held the office several years. Martin 
McCowen was granted license to open a grocery in 1834, and, as in all gro- 
cery licenses, the rates of charges were also given. W. B. Stapp and W. S. 
Berry were granted license to " vend merchandise" in the summer of 1835 
and paid $11 license fee. At the same time Ferdinand Vandvke and 
"William Tracy received their permits for the same purpose. James P. 
Hogue, James McCallon and W. F. Smith's permits were given at the 
same time, and from that time, names of the old merchants often appear 
on the old records, showing ^that Monmouth was increasing rapidly in 
business and population. During these five years it had only been a 
village, but the citizens were actively discussing the feasibility of forming- 
a town government, and enjoying a town's privileges. James McCallon 
Daniel McNeil, Jr., and others, were the most energetic in this move and 
finally in compliance with the general demand, posted notices in the most 
conspicuous places in town, said notices informing the " legally qualified 
voters of the town of Monmouth" that a meeting to determine this ques- 
tion would be held at the school house on JSIovember 29, 1836. The 
proceedings to incorporate Monmouth as a town, as recorded, were 
commenced at this date. These proceedings were under the o-eneral 
law of the State in force at that time, being the act approved February 
12, 1831, entitled "an act to incorporate the inhabitants of such towns 
as may wish to be incorporated." Ten days prior to November 29th, 
a notice had been publicly posted up in coaipliance to law, and in 
pursuance of this call " the male citizens of the town of Monmouth" 
met at the school house at this date, and having organized by callino- 
Elijah Davidson to he chair, and Harry Jennings as clerk, "the object 
of the meeting vas fully set forth" and voting for and against the 
incorporation of the town commenced. Twenty-three votes were cast in 
favor of the incorporation and none against. 

The voters were: Wm. F. Smith, Daniel MdNTeil, Jr., E. W. McMillen, 
Mordecai McBride, B. F. Berry, Yost Huffman, J. J. Caldwell, G. W.' 
Yaugan, J. P. Hogue, Samuel Brazelton, Geo. H. Wright, Alex. Hoo-ue 
F. I^andyke, Jam^es McCallon, S. T. McBride, Thos. Butler, Andl-evv 
Eobinson, Frank Kendell, Peter I. Dodge, Thos. G. Hogue, Elijah David- 
son, Harry Jennings and Alex. Ritchie. 

It was at once ordered that an election be held on December 5th 
following, for five trustees to serve twelve months, or until their successors 
were qualified. At this time Elijah Davidson, Daniel McNeil, Jr., James 
McCallon, Alex. Eitchie and George H. ^\'■ right were duly elected, and at 
once qualified. 

Daniel McNeil, Jr., was chosen President of this Board of Trustees and 
Harry Jennings, Clerk and Treasurer. The first official act of this Board 
was the passing of the following ordinance, at their meeting held on Decem- 
ber 26, at the house of James McCallon : 



144 HISTOET OP WARREN COUNTY. 

"Oedinancb 1st. — Be it ordained by the President and Trustees of the 
Town of Monmouth, in council convened, that the corporation and jurisdic- 
tion of the officers of the Town of Monmouth be one-half mile east, one- 
half mile west, one-half mile south and one-half mile north from the center 
of the Public Square, containing one mile square." 

Other ordinances were also passed for the government of the town, for 
the regulation of public houses and groceries, the punishment of offenders, 
regulating the running at large of stock and any and all affairs pertaining 
to the welfare of a town. 

Under this form of government the town was controlled, with several 
changes in the rulers, until 1852, when the Genei-al Assembly passed the 
following Act, approved June 21st, of that year : 

" Section 1. — Be it enacted by the people of the State of Illinois, rep- 
resented in the General Assembly, That the inhabitants of the Town of 
Monmouth, in the county of Warren and State of Illinois, be, and are 
hereby constituted a body politic and corporate, by the name and style of 
' The City of Monmouth,' and by that name shall have perpetual succession, 
and may have and use a common seal, which they may change and alter at 
pleasure." 

Section second fixes the boundaries at one mile from the center of the 
Public Square, each way, and section third provides for the division of the 
city into two wards. 

From that time forward the government has remained unchanged, save 
that the increase in population has made more wards and an increased num- 
ber of councilmen, there being two from each ward. The first election for 
mayor and other oflicers, under this act, was held on Saturday, October 23, 
1862. Samuel Wood was elected to that oifice, and four aldermen, from 
the two wards, who convened for the traniaction of business on November 
3d, and fairly launched the city under the new government. 

Until the advent of the C, B. & Q. Kailroad, in 1854, the growth ol 
Monmouth was slow. That year, however, the town sprang into active life, 
and improvements of every kind began to be made. The next year the 
college, whose history appears elsewhere, was located, and gave an additional 
impetus to persons looking for an intellectual home. A few years after, the 
library was founded, and made another prominent attraction. Good hotels 
were built, fine stores appeared, and the Union Hall, one of the largest in 
this part of the State, was erected. 

A tire company is now sustained, and but little danger is apprehended 
from that dread element. 

There are three good banks, two excellent weekly papers, and a monthly, 
issued in the interests of the college. 

Eleven churches are sustained, whose membership will aggregate over 
two thousand. 

The city is divided into four wards, in each of which a good school is 
maintained. 

The Post-Office. — Daniel McNeil was the earliest postmaster appointed 
in the county. On September 10, 1830, he, acting as county clerk, advised 
the Postmaster General at Washington City, that the county of Warren 
was now established according to law, and that the county seat was estab- 
lished at Lower Yellow Banks, on the Mississippi River, on the 9th of July, 
preceding. This place being about half way between Des Moines River 
and Rock River rap)ids, did "request the Postmaster General to establish 



HISTORY OF WAKEElf COUNTr. 14:5 

the post-office, to be called the ' Warren Court House Post-Office,' and 
further request him to forward the mail imiuediately to said office from 
Fulton county, Schuyler county, or from Venus, Hancock county." This 
request was complied with, and Mr. McNeil appointed to the office. As 
soon as the Indian hostilities commenced, he was compelled to remove from 
Yellow Banks to a place of safety. He came to Monmouth, but there 
being no house there, he repaired to an old camp, about a mile northeast. 
This he repaired and occupied solne time, and here, during the first week, 
his wife killed two large rattlesnakes in the house. He carried the letters 
generally in his hat, and when meeting any one for whom he had mail, 
would hail them, take off his hat and deliver them their letters. On one 
occasion, on removing his portable post-office, the mail was blown away by 
a fierce wind prevailing at the time. It occasioned him no little trouble 
to find it. 

The postage at that time was from ten to twenty five cents on each 
letter, and money being scarce, the recipient of the letter would often be 
compelled to forego the pleasure of reading it for several days until he could 
get the money to pay the postage. Then, letters were carried without 
being prepaid, but could remain but a few weeks in the office, when they 
were forwarded to the Dead-Letter Office. As soon as the town of Mon- 
mouth was established aii office was made there. It now does a large busi- 
ness, ranking as a second-class office. Its report for 1876 shows that there 
were sold, 352,127 stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards. For 
these $7,611.36 were received. There were 2,626 money orders issued, 
which amounted to $31,055.1:1 in value; 1,920 orders were paid, amounting 
to $33,351.82 ; 60s letters were registered, and 756 of this kind were received ; 
999 letters were sent to the Dead-Letter Office. This report shows that the 
office handled $72,021.59 during the year. 

The first bank established in the county was by Ivory Quinby. Llis 
was a private institution, and in it he was soon succeeded by the firm of 
Gregg & Hubbard. 

Afterwards a bank was opened by E. L. Chapman, which in the early 
part of 1862 was merged into the present First National Bank. This latter 
institution is one of the oldest in the United States, being the eighty -fifth 
established. In 1872 a private bank was opened by C. Jones & Co., which 
was also, on November 1, ISZO, merged into a National bank, being the 
present Monmouth National. 

The Second National Bank was established in the early part of 1875. 

All these banks are in excellent condition and stand high in the mer- 
cantile world. 

MAJSrUFAOTOEIES. 

The first two-horse cultivator for corn and the first two-horse planter 
were invented and made in this county. These enable one man to do the 
work of nearly six, and have been a saving of many millions of dollars here- 
tofore paid for labor. These agricultural implements are now largely used 
in the Southern States in the cultivation of cotton. 

In 1859, W. S. Weir began experimenting with a corn plow, as the 
old methods of cultivating corn required so much labor, resulting in a plow 
for which a patent was first issued in December, 1862. 

In 1863, after thoi'oughly trying the invention, arrangements were 
made for manufacturing on a larger scale. The first shop was built in the 



146 HISTOEY OF WAEEEN COTJNTT. 

northwest part of the city, 24x36 feet, joined by a blacksmitli shop 24x30 
feet. During the year, with the assistance of nine men, 400 plows were 
made. In the winter of 1864^5, 500 were manufactured and found a i-eady 
sale. 

The demand for these cultivators, at this time, necessitated a still further 
enlargement. A location was selected on "Wood street, near the C, B. & 
Q. Railroad, where buildings were erected for wood work and foundry, the 
dimensions of which were 100x36 feet. A capital stock of $35,000 was rep- 
resented, and the force of men increased to twenty-five. 

For the season of 1866, 800 cultivators were made. Arrangements for 
the completion of a larger number were made, the following season, and 
the work was carried on with vigor. On the morning of January 20, 1867, 
by some unexplained accident, the entire works, with contiguous buildings, 
were destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $36,000, including 1,200 cultiva- 
tors stored in the building. Of this amount, $10,000 was covered by in- 
surance. 

Bj the first of March, a main building 34x36 feet, two stories high, 
was ready for business, together with a blacksmith shop 24x70, and a 
foundry 40x70 feet. Fifty men were employed, and 1,500 cultivators were 
in readiness for the spring trade. 

In the fall of 1867, the Weir Plow Company was organized with a cap- 
ital of $50,000. 

Three thousand cultivators were made in 1868 ; 4,000 in 1869 ; 6,500 
in 1870. In the fall of this year the working force was increased to sixty 
men, and 10,000 cultivators were placed upon the market. 

The company has again increased the number of its employes, until 
they now give employment to over 300. 

In 1871 they erected their present shops, whose combined floors cover 
more than three acres. The capital invested is over $600,000, and about 
$5,000 worth of agricultural implements are made daily. 

Tiie Pattee brothers, manufacturers of the " New Departure," tongue- 
less cultivator, obtained their patent in 1872, and commenced to manufac- 
ture at Buda, Bureau county. Two years after they erected shops here 
and commenced at once the manufacture. They have a large foundry, ma- 
chine and blacksmith shops, and make the cultivator from the crude mate- 
rial. They are daily in receipt of suSicient orders to exhaust all their man- 
ufactured stock. During 1876, 4,000 cultivators were sold in addition to 
those sold from Buda and Roseville. They are also made at this latter 
place. 

Mr. W. S. Hopper is also engaged extensively in the manufacture of 
a cultivator which finds a ready sale, more than 3,000 being now in use. 
His establishment is directly north of the C.,B. & Q.depot. He purchased 
the buildings in 1869, and in company with Mr. Palmer, began the making 
of his plows. His trade has grown steadily and is chiefly in the western 
and southwestern states. 

Aside from the principal shops of the city, Monmouth contains one or 
two flouring mills, a good carriage and wagon factory, and a large number 
of shops of various kinds. 

The city enjoys a large trade with the surrounding country. As fine 
stores can be seen here as in any city west of Chicago, and many persons 
come from the farthest parts of the countj^ to trade here. 

It has been shown elsewhere in these pages that the greater part of 



HISTOET OF WAEEEN COCNTY. 147 

the business of the residents of Warren county were engaged in agriculture 
and in stock i-aising, As an evidence of this and the amount of business 
done at Monnaouth station, the following is given : 

" During the year ending with December, the shipments on the C, B. 
& Q. from Monmouth, included 215 cars of hogs, 12,160 head ; eight cars 
of sheep, 682 head; 208 cars of cattle, 3,366 head; 105 ears of corn, 42,000 
bushels ; 33 cars of oats, 16,300 bushels ; 18 cars of rye, 7,200 bushels ; 3 
cars of barley, 1,200 bushels." 

THE SCHOOLS. 

The educational advantages of Monmouth have always maintained a 
high standard. In 1831 a private school was opened by Robert Black. He 
was shortly followed by Alpheus Bussell, both finding their support in sub- 
scriptions. No public provision was made until 1834, when at the meeting 
of the County Commissioners, on May 6th, the petition of Jacob Rust and 
others to establish the boundaries of school district No. 1 was granted. 
This incladed Monmouth, and on the site of the present Methodist Episco- 
pal Church a frame school house, about eighteen feet square, was erected. 
This was a very comfortable structure, and was often used for other pur- 
poses, such as town meetings, religious services, or any public gathering. 
It was here, on the 29th of November, 1836, the election for the town or- 
ganization was held. On October 2d, 1834 the trustees of the Monmouth 
district made their first report to the County Commissioners . It reads as 
follows : 

"There are in this district fifty children between the ages of five and 
twenty-one years. There has been a school kept three months since the 
organization of the district. There have twenty-five children received tui- 
tion. The probable expense will be $45." 

This report is signed by Gilbert Turnbull and James McCallon, and 
appears to record the first public school in Monmouth. 

This small building was occupied several years. About the year 1840 
it was sold and converted into a dwelling. On its site a much larger struc- 
ture was erected to accommodate the increasing school population. Ere 
long it was found to be insufficient, and several private schools were opened. 
The basement of the Presbyterian Church and the Christian Church were 
rented and occupied. This occurred about the year 1852 or '3. The schools 
were under the control of the town and city councils, but no active part 
seems to have been taken by either board until the year 1855, when at a 
meeting of the city council, in June, it was oi'dered that the sum of $2,500 
be appropriated to erect the East Ward school house. This same autumn 
school was opened in the school house already in use, in the Christian 
Church, and in the basement of the Presbyterian Church. The council em- 
ployed Mr. W. B. Jenks to occupy the school house, who was to receive as 
compensation for his services three ^dollars per scholar in all common 
branches, and four dollars from each of those who pursued the higher 
studies. They employed Mr . A. H. Tracy for the Christian Church at the 
same terms. 

The East Ward house was completed and occupied during the years 
1855-6, and gave ample room until 1858-9, when the school population had 
so increased that the West Ward school house was erected to accommodate 
them. It was found that the city council could not give the necessary at- 



148 HISTOET OF WAEEEN COtTNTT. 

tention to the schools they demanded, and the citj charter was amended 
February 21, 1863, placing the care of the schools under a board of three 
directors. These were elected March 3d. They were John S. Spriggs, A. 
Young Graham and Nathaniel A. Rankin. For the years 1863-4 S. A. 
Hammer was by them elected principal, and also eleven teachers, six in the 
East Ward and five in the West. For the next year two principals were 
chosen, and the school term extended to six months. The same year the 
contract for the South school house was let. In 1867 the North Ward house 
was built, and the school year made nine months. The following year the 
South school house was enlarged. In 1869 the board of directors was in- 
creased to five, and each principal of a ward was made superintendent of 
that building, and under this plan the city schools are still conducted. The 
secretary of the board acts as city superintendent, though he takes no part 
in the instruction. The schools are in an excellent condition, and give em- 
ployment to twenty-two teachers, whose aggregeate monthly salaries are 
over $1,200. 

CHUECHES. 

The First United Presbyterian Church. This congregation was or- 
ganized by Kev. Robert Ross, May 9, 18f>3, more than twenty-three years 
ago, as an Associate Reformed church. 

Nineteen persons united, whose names were as follows : John, Ann, 
Isabella and James S. Gowdy, Isabella Young, James G. and Martha E. 
Madden, T. W. Smiley, John and Mary J. Saville, John E. Clark, Mrs. 
Clark, Robert A. Kendall, James E. McNair, Edward Kirk, Isabella Wal- 
lace, Julia A ., Maria S. and Susan Madden. The first communion service 
was held June 1 Ith, following, when thirty-four pei-sons sat down to the 
communion table, ten of whom now remain in the congregation. This 
church has received into her fellowship over fourteen hundred persons, and 
now has a membership of four hundred. 

The congregation worshipped in the court-house from the organization 
until the close of 1856, when the old college chapel was finished and services 
were conducted there. The chapel becoming too small for the increasing 
congregation, it was decided to erect a church edifice. During the last week 
of June, 1857, $6,000 were subscribed for that purpose, and building at 
once commenced. This structure (the present building) was completed in 
the early part of the summer of 1848, and the first services held therein on 
July 4th of that year. 

From an anniversary sermon preached in May, 1876, by the pastor, 
Rev. J. G. Barnes, the following extracts relating to history of this denom- 
ination in Monmouth are taken : " The first Associate Reformed minister 
who preached in Monmouth Was Rev. J. C. Porter, in the winter of 1847-'48. 
After the death of Rev. Willson, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, he 
preached for them at the request of the session, until they could obtain 
supplies of their own. He and other supplies preached in the coui-t-house, 
generally to small audiences, until November, 1854, when a call was ex- 
tended to Rev. S. F. Vauuate, who afterwards lost his life by a shell on 
board a vessel on the Mississippi river, during the late war. An academy 
having, been established here by the Second Associate Presbytery of Illinois, 
it was thought best to find some one to take charge of both church and 
school. Dr. David A. Wallace, of East Boston, Mass., was called, who 
came, and on the second Sabbath of February, 1856, preached twice in the 



HISTOEY OF WAEEEN COtTNTT. 149 

Baptist and once in the Presbyterian churcli. On the first Sabbath of Oc- 
tober, 1856, he entered upon his duties, and remained in charge of both 
church and school till August, 1S60, when he resigned his care of the former 
to give his entire attention to the latter. In the fall of 1S5S, the Theolog- 
ical Seminary of this denomination was removed from Oxford, Ohio, to 
Monmouth, and Dr. Young acted as pastor of the congregation until De- 
cember 31, 1862. In 1863, in April, a call was sent to Eev. David G. 
Bradford, now pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Princeton, Bureau 
county, which he accepted and remained in this relation until August, 1867. 
Eev. R. B. Ewing was the next pastor, coming in the spring of 1868, and 
remaining until Januarv"l, 1870. In May, of that year, the present pastor, 
Rev. Barnes, was called." 

The first officers of this church were James Gowdy and T. W. Smiley, 
elders, (still living), James C. Crawford, John P. Giles and Robert B. Da- 
vidson. The first Sabbath-school supeiintendent was Nathan Brown, Sr. 
There were five teachers and twenty-five scholars. There are now nearly 
two hundred scholars. 

On November 20, 1862, twenty-one members withdrew to form the 
Second United Presbyterian Church of Monmouth. The third church and 
the one at Kirkwood were also formerly part of this church. 

The Second United Presbyterian Church was organized at the house of 
Mr. A. Y. Graham, in Monmouth, October 25, 1862. The members were, 
prior to this time, communicants in the First United Presbyterian Church; 
but that becoming large and the membership somewhat scattered, it was 
desirous to form another congregation. The constituent members were: M. 
A. Campbell, Catharine Graham, Mary C. Wolf, Esther J. -Campbell, W. C. 
Brown, A. Y. Graham, M. D. Campbell, J. D. Wolf, James Findley, Lizzie 
Campbell, Prof. J. C. Willson, Prof. J. C. Hutchinson, R. M. Campbell, 
Lizzie W. Willson, Lizzie Hutchinson, J. F. McCreary, James Strain, Eliz- 
abeth McCreary, and Nancy Strain — 19. Until the year 1866, they wor- 
shipped in the college chapel, when by this time they had so increased in 
numbers that a church edifice was deemed nec-essary. This was erected a 
little south of the college buildings, and cost the congregation about $10,000. 
When the church was organized the Revs. A. Young and Dr. D. A. Wal- 
lace were called as associate pastors, also being connected with the college. 
December 31, 1868, Dr. Wallace resigned to devote his entire time to the 
latter institution, and Dr. Young assumed the entire duties of pastor, con- 
tinuing until June 11, 1871. On August 11, 1872, Rev. D. M. Ure was 
called. He continued to fill the pulpit till August 4, 1871, when he re- 
signed. The present pastor, Rev. W. T. Campbell, was installed February 
25, 1875. 

From a membership of nineteen, the church has grown to three hun- 
dred and seventy-five, and sustain a Sabbath-school of nearly or quite two 
hundred scholars. 

The Third U. P. Church was organized in January, 1867, in the South 
Ward school house, with forty members. A convenient house of worship 
was built soon after, and Rev. J. M. Henderson was the first pastor, from 
1868 to 1873. Rev. D. R. Inches then succeeded to the pastorate, and con- 
tinued until the fall of 1876. Present number of members about forty. 
In Sabbath school seventy. No pastor at present. 

Swedish Lutheran Church. Was organized in March, 1868, with 
twenty-five members. The meetings tor divine worship were held in a 



150 HISTOET OF WAEEEN COTTNTY. 

building owned by Mr. John Beck, one of the principal constituent mem- 
bers. The presiding minister was JRev. — Dalstien, of Galesburg, who 
labored here as his time and circumstances would allow, for some time. 
They met in this room and in the court-house until the year 1870, when 
they erected their present house of worship, costing about $1,400. They 
now number one hundred and twenty-five members, and control a Sunday- 
school of fifty scholars. The pastor is Rev. E. Peterson. 

The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized over Daniel McNeil's 
store in 1840. The trustees elected at the organization were : L. C. Wood- 
worth, Charlas Oummings, Asa D. West, Alford Allen and Daniel MoJSTeil. 
Two years before this time the persons professing this belief had met for 
divine worship in the same place, and as a result had gathered enough ad- 
herents to form the society. E,ev. !N. Gr. Bergman was presiding elder at 
the organization, and occasionally preached for them afterwards. In 1840, 
they erected a house of worship. This was used until about the year 1857. 
It was always kuown as the "Monmouth Chapel," being used for many 
public meetings of various kinds. About this time, becoming too small 
for the increasing congregation, it was removed and the present commodi- 
ous edifice erected upon its site. The following is a partial list of the min- 
isters of this church : Revs. C. Rowley, A. C. Price, J. P. Brooks, C. 
Springer, J. S. Cummings, E. Wasmuth, A. Magee, P. Warner, J. G. Evans, 
' Wm. Underwood, L. Janes, and the present pastor, J. D. Smith. The 
membership is now 275, and the attendance at Sunday-school 200. 

The Baptist Church. This congregation occupj^ a very comfortable 
house of worship, heated by furnaces and supplied with stained glass win- 
dows. Several other churches in Monmouth have introduced these im- 
provements, which aid much in the convenience and appearance of the 
buildings. 

This congregation was organized in 1844 at the house of Benj.C. Ward, 
with the following constituent members : Wm. F. Smith, Mrs. Geo. C. 
Lamphere, Mr. and Mrs. John Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Benj. C. Ward, and 
Mrs. Fry. 

Their earliest meetings were held in the present court house, under 
the ministry of Elder Bartlett, of Knoxville. For some time the services 
were held in private houses, principally in a room over the store of Deacon 
E. C. Babcock and in a room belonging to Wm. F. Smith, on the southeast 
corner of the Square. In 1848 the first house of worship was built upon 
the present site, under the supervision of Elder Joseph Elliott and John 
Babcock, at a cost of $3,300. In 1868 it was remodeled and improved, at 
an expense of $3,000, making the aggregate cost of the present structure 
$6,300. The present membership of the society is 175. The clmrch main- 
tains a Sabbath school of 150 members and a Sunday school library of 250 
volumes. The following are the names of the various pastors who have 
served this church, in the order of their pastorates : Eld. Bartlett, Eld. Wil. 
bur. Eld. Hovey, Eld. Monroe, Eld Levisee, Eld. Westorn, Eld. Joseph El- 
liott, Eld. Brimhall, Eld. Erastus Minor, Eld. Newton, Eld. Anson Tucker, 
Eld. Northrop, Eld. Tolman, Eld J. C. Miller, Eld. Wm. Bolton, Eld. H. 
B. Foskett, and then the present incumbent Eld. Harry Taylor. 

The First Presbyterian church of Warren county was organized in 
1836, by Rev. Cyrus Riggs, and reported to the presbytery of Schuyler, in 
session at Macomb, in that year. This was the church that afterwards took 
the name of "Fall Creek," and was dissolved by the presbytery and with their 



HISTOET OF WAEREN COUNTY. 151 

own consent, August 26, 1873. Its membership had run down to seven or 
eight, and it was impossible to revive it. 

The Presbyterian church of Monmouth was organized by Kev. L. G. 
Beh, September 2d, 1837. At its organization there were sixteen mem- 
bers, all of whom being members of the First Church of Warren county, 
were dismissed to enter the new church. The new church had only occa- 
sional supplies of preaching until September, 1839, when its first pastor 
was settled. In the meantime services were held by Revs. L. G. Bell, Mich- 
ael Hamer, James Stafford, Joseph J. Craig and W. K. Stewart, all of whom 
are dead except Mr. Hammer and Mr. Craig. Rev. Bell moved to Iowa, 
and in that new territory spent his time in organizing and fostering new 
churches, until his death, some years ago. His remains were brought to 
Monmoutli for interment. Rev. Stewart, another pioneer of the church, 
died in Macomb, where he had been pastor for many j^ears. 

In October, 1839, Rev. Samuel Wilson, then laboring at Rushville, was 
called to become pa-jtor of the united churches of Monmouth and Fall 
Creek, and he was installed by the presbytery then in session in this place. 
This relation continued till August 15, 1847, when it was closed by his 
death. At that time the church numbered sixty-seven members. 

Until 1842 or 1843 the church had no house, but worshipped in various 
places ; sometimes in a store-room on the corner of Broadway and the 
Square, now occupied by the Monmouth National Bank building ; some- 
times in a room in the old American House, that stood where Claycomb's 
brick block now stands. J. P. Hogue, one of the elders of the church, was 
proprietor of the hotel. Sometimes the meetings were held in the court 
house, and it was at one of the meetings in the court house that Rev. Wil- 
son was installed pastor. 

On the 17th of April, 1842, Theodore Coburn and his wife deeded to 
the church the lot on which the present building stands. On the lot a 
small brick building was erected soon after the deed was given, and, becom- 
ing insecure, was taken down in 1851. 

In 1852 the present church building was erected, and some years ago 
was enlarged to accommodate the growing congregation. 

In the fall of 1851 Rev, R. C. Matthews, having left the theological 
seminary, prepared to preach, visited Burlington, Iowa, where he chanced 
to become acquainted with a member of the church in Monmouth, and was 
invited to come over the river and pi-each, the church having no minister 
at that time. He came, and on the 20th of December, of that year, he 
preached his first sermon in the courthouse. The old brick church had been 
taken down and the new one was not finished, which was the reason for the 
meeting being held in the court house of Monmouth. The next day a congre- 
gational meeting was held, and the Doctor was invited to stay and preach 
three months, which he accepted, and divided his time between Monmouth, 
Fall Creek and North Henderson. On the 20th of March, 1S52, he was 
called to become pastor of the church, by the acting elders, Robert Grant, 
James Dickson, Porter Phelps, A. C. Gregg and Hiram Norcross. In 
December, 1852, he was regularly installed pastor, and continued as such, 
respected and beloved by his congregation and the entire community. 

Diu'ing his ministry he has welcomed into the church seven hundred 
and eighteen members. 

The Sunday school. In the fall of 1838 the pastor organized the Sunday 
school and remained superintendent until 1840, when he was succeeded by 



152 HISTORY OF WAEEEN COUNTT. 

Eev. Sam'l. Wilson, who occupied both positions until about 1846. The num- 
ber of scholars was from fifteen to twenty, requiring the services of four or 
five teachers. One of these latter, Mr. John Leeper .remained as teacher 
about twenty-five years. 

In the autumn of 1861 the board of instruction organized under the con- 
stitution of the First Presbyterian church, and elected their officers. Tnat 
year 95 scholars attended one day during the last quarter of the year, being 
the greatest number of any one day. Twenty teachers were present. Dur- 
ing 1862-3 and '4,— especially during 1863, — the school and church en- 
joyed a great season of revival and largely increased ; 214 scholars and 29 
teachers are reported. On August 2d the school assembled for the first 
time in the basement of the church. For the year ending January' 21st, 
1866, 375 were reported enrolled. The lessons were prepared by Dr. Mat- 
thews. 

This school has steadily maintained a good growth. It has largely con- 
tributed of its members to the church, 225 of the scholars uniting therewith 
since 1852. It has helped sustain a mission school, given freely to other 
causes, and now is large and very prosperous. Four of its members have 
gone out as ministers, two as elders, six as superintendents and forty as 
teachers in the Sunday schools. 

The Christian Church. The earliest meetings of this congregation 
were held in the school house and in various halls in the (then) village. 

On March 31st, 1839, they were organized into a church by Elders 
Pliny Hatchett, Levi Hatchett and James E. lioss. Elijah Davidson was 
chosen clerk of this meeting and the following persons united : Elijah and 
Nancy Davidson, Hezekiah and Eleanor Davidson, Alex, and Rachel 
Davidson, Wm. C. and Mrs. M. Hall, Wm. C. Butler and his wife Eebecca, 
James Hodgson, Jacob L. and ISTancy Bnzan, Amelia Ann Davidson, Solo- 
mon S. Davidson, Wm. B. Davidson, Elizabeth Davidson and Thos. H. 
Davidson, eighteen in all, of whom none are now members ; nearly all have 
died or removed. In 1840 they built their first house of worship, which 
occupied a lot immediately north of the present Baldwin House. This 
church was taken away after doing good service as a house of worship and 
as school house, and, in the spring of 1861, the present building erected. 
It is a very comfortable structure and cost $5,000. The number of mem- 
bers is now 125, and the Sunday school approaching the same number. 

Pesident ministers engaged in Christian Church since the organization 
in 1839 : Alexander Davidson, James £. Gaston, T. J. Mattock, J. W. 
Butler, L. S. Wallace, John Errett, A. P. Aten, F. M. Bruner, T. V. Berry, 
John Lagrange, J. M. Williams, Alex. Davidson, A. J. Cane, J. W. Errett, 
S. S. Wallace and J. W. Butler are some of the pastors who have labored 
here. The present occupant of the pulpit is Pev. F. M. Bruner. 

African M. E. Church. Was organized in a hall on Main street about 
ten years ago. There were twelve members, of whom Charles Knight, 
Frances Price, Zachariah Price, Harriet Lee and A. H. Knight, who acted as 
class leaders, were the principal ones. In 1870 they erected a church cost- 
ing about $800, which they yet occupy. There are now twenty-two mem- 
bers and an attendance of fifteen scholars at the Sunday school. 

African Baptist Church. Was organized at the residence of Mrs. Mil- 
ler, September 10th, 1866. There were but few members, the principal 
ones being Henry McCord and wife, and B. Granger and wife. 

A church was erected at the corner of East and Cherry streets, at an

expense of $1,500. It is still used. Their first pastor was Rev. J. C. 
Graves. Since then they have been ministered to by Rev. J. H. Bandy 
and others. 

They have at present thirty-one members and a Sunday school of forty 
scholars. 

THE PEESS. 

The Monmouth Ailas is the oldest newspaper published in this section 
of the country. It was started in the year 1845 by C. K. Smith. E. S. Byron 
and F. K. Smith were for a short time associated with him m its manage- 
ment, but through his labor and perseverance the paper became a valuable 
contributor to the development of the country and its steady and prosper- 
ous growth. The present senior proprietor, Jno. S. Clark, purchased the 
estabhshment of Mr. Smith in 1857. In the fall of 1865 he sold an inter 
est to J. H. Reed, who assisted in its management until May, 1869, when 
Mr. R. was succeeded by Samuel S. Clark, and with an unimportant excep- 
tion, the business has since been conducted by Jno. S. Clark & Son. In 
their hands the establishment has increased to several times its dimensions 
when purchased by Mr. Clark, more than twenty years ago, and the circ\x- 
lation of the paper has kept pace with the increase of population. Mr. 
Geo. Rankin is now connected with the paper. The Atlas is recognized as 
one of the leading and most prosperous Republican newspapers of the 
State. 

The Review was established in 1855 by the present editor and propri- 
etor, Mr. A. H. Swain, who has been a practical printer since 1845, learning 
his trade in Pennsylvania. He commenced the publication of the Review, 
bringing his material with him, in an old brick building on Main street, 
where he remained one year. At the expiration of that time he removed 
his presses to Patterson's block on East street, where he published the paper 
four years. He then returned to Main street to a room in Carr's block, 
where he published the paper until 1876, when he removed the office to its 
present location in Kingsbury's block on Broadway. Mr. Swain publishes 
the official Democratic paper of the county, and since its commencement has 
never missed a number. 

THE MONMOUTH COLLEGE, 

Originated with the members of the Second Associate Reformed Pres- 
bytery of Illinois, in a desire to provide means for affording a Christian 
education to the youth of the church in the West, and to raise up properly 
qualified candidates for the ministrj'. Hence this Presbytery organized an 
academy at Monmouth. In 1855, it determined to raise it to the rank of a 
college, and appointed a board of trustees, who elected a president and two 
professors, and arranged for the opening of the college in September, 1856. 
In this movement Rev. J. C. Porter and Rev. R. Ross were among the 
most active. At the date fixed for opening, the building then in process of 
erection not being ready, the college was opened in the public school house, 
which is now occupied as a residence by Mr. Cowen, and stands on West 
avenue, east side, the third house from Broadway. 

At a meeting of the Associate Reformed Synod of Illinois, held in 
Keokuk, Iowa, October, 1856, the college was transferred to that Synod by 
the Presbytery. The Synod, in a series of resolutions, afiirmed the princi- 



154 HISTORY OF WABEEN COUNTY. 

pies according to which it intended the college to be conducted, and ap 
pointed trustees. After the consummation of the union constituting the 
United Presbyterian Church, the care and supervision of the college passed 
to the Synod of Illinois of that body. In 1868, the Synod of Iowa united 
with the Synod of Illinois in the maintenance and control of the college. 
When the Synod of Kansas was organized out of the Synod of Illinois, it 
continued to share with the Synod of Illinois its responsibilities to the col- 
lege. In 1874 a plan of union was agreed upon by the synods above named 
with the Second Synod of the West, in accordance with which it also became 
a part of the constituency of the college. The synods now comprised in 
this union are the Second Synod of the West, and the Synods ot Ilhnois, 
Iowa and Kansas. These synods contain 244 ministers, 317 churches, and 
over 30,000 communicants. 

The original act of incorporation was approved Feb. 16, 1857. It cre- 
ated the board of trustees, a body corporate and politic by the name and 
style of "The Monmouth College," and gave them customary powei-s. It 
vested in the Associate Reformed Synod of Illinois the power of appointing 
three-fourths of the trustees, and in the trustees themselves one-fourth. An 
act was signed Feb. 18, 1859, so amending the original act as to give to the 
" United " Presbyterian Synod of Illinois the powers before vested in the 
Associate Reformed Synod. The charter was further amended in 1869, 
after the union of the Synod of Iowa with the Synod of Illinois in the man- 
agement of the college. The charter, as amended, adjusted the government 
of the college to its new relations, and provided for the admission of other 
bodies to its constituency. 

The first college building was erected on the block of land donated by 
Hon. A. C. Harding, located in the northwest section of the city of Mon- 
mouth. It was about 40x60 feet, two stories, and contained a chapel and 
eight rooms. In 1860, Messrs. A. Y. and D. Graham donated to the col- 
lege ten acres situated on Broadway, in the eastern part of the city, together 
with one-sixth of the remainder of the quarter of which it was a part. The 
board immediately took measures to erect on the proffered site a new build- 
ing suited to the growing wants of the college. The work commenced in 
1861, and on the 12th day of May, 1863, the professors and students took 
possession of the building. It is 50x80 feet, three stories high above the 
basement, and contains eighteen rooms. It cost, including furniture and 
fences, about $20,000. In 1875 it was found that this building was too 
small for the wants of the college, and steps were taken for the erection 
of an addition, 50x60, on the north side of the old building, at a cost of 
about $14,000. It is now finished. It is three stories high above the base- 
ment, of the same style of architecture as the old, and will contain a chapel 
and eight other rooms in addition to those in the basement. The enlarged 
structure will turnish ample accommodations for the wants of the college. 

The preparatory classes below the sub-Freshman are heard in the 
original college building known as the academy. 

The first attempt to endow the college was made on the Scholarship 
system. The original scholarship entitled the purchaser to the perpetual 
tuition of one student. It cost $100. The purchaser could pay cash for it 
or give his note bearing 6 per cent, interest per annum. Afterwards the 
sale of this class of scholarships was stopped, and a new one offered, enti- 
tling to 20 years tuition, for $100 in cash, or for a note bearing interst at the 
rate of ten per cent, per annum. Sxibsequently it was determined to sell

no more scholarships at this rate. In lieu thereof, for every one hundred 
dollars, scrip was issued entitling to tuition, at current rates, to the amount 
of $200, payable one-tenth annually. Again this plan was modified by 
giving scrip for the sum donated, dollar for dollar, entitling to tuition to 
the amount of the face of it, at the rates current at the time of the sale. 
Many thousands of dollars were thus secured. Finally, however, all these 
schemes were abandoned, because the education promised by the college 
cost it more than the principal and interest of the money paid for the 
scholarship amounted to. Endowment on this principle was found to be 
impossible. In 1871, it was determined to solicit donations, without any 
tuition in turn, for the Endowment fund. On this plan over $75,000 have 
been secured, which is being collected and invested in bonds secured by 
mortgage or real estate, and bearing interest at the rate of ten per cent, 
per annum, A few thousand dollars have also been secured by the sale of 
a perpetual scholarship for $1,000. 

The first President of the College was Rev. David A.Wallace, who still 
holds the place. The following have been connected with it as Professors 
and Instructors :

EOSEVILLE. 

Truman Eldridge, who now occupies one of the most inviting farms 
and homes within the Corporation, came, in 1836, from Hancock, Mass., and 
took 240 acres, a part of which is embraced in the northwest portion of 
the village. Shortly after he returned to his home and spent two years, and 
in 1838 returned, and in 1839 built a home_ and commenced the improve- 
ment of his land. In 1848 he took up, at the government price, 80 acres 
more, directly north, and in 1850 bought 160 acres more, embracing the 
northeast portion of the Corporation. The southeast quarter section was 
bought thirty-four years ago by Solomon Sovereign, and thirty years ago 
the southwest by John Eeeves. The Corporation, one mile square, laid out 
in streets at right angles, embraces equal portions of these four quarter 
sections. 

The first store was opened on a small scale by John Adams, in 1856, a 
little south of where it now stands, on the southwest corner of Penn^ ave- 
nue and Main street. The brick building owned by E. Pierce occupies its 
original site. Soon N. W. Baker succeeded John Adams, and not long after, 
Dally and Arter, and these were succeeded by E. P. Emans, who now owns 
and occupies a two story frame on the northwest corner. 

The first township meeting was held in the old Union Church, on 
April 4, 1854. Truman Eldridge presided at the meeting, and at its close 
the first township oflicers weie chosen. 

Until the advent of the C. B. & Q. Railroad, almost all the produce 
was taken to Oquawka, there to be shipped to St. Louis by the Mississippi 
River. When the railroad was completed trade was changed to Monmouth, 
and a local trade was started in Roseville. 

New Lancaster and Elliston, a few miles west, were enjoying quite a 
local trade, which continued until 1870. During the summer of this year, 
the Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis Railroad was completed through the 
county. Tliis was the beginning of the prosperity of Roseville. It was 
now properly platted and the plat recorded by John A. Gordon, in the 
name of Mr. Eldridge and others of the most active residents, and an active 
trade at once opened. 

The stores and shops at JSTew Lancaster were moved here, and the town 
from being a " corners," as it was commonly called, rapidly arose to a 
" town," with its attendant privileges. Mr. John A. Gordon opened the 
depot and held the position several years. 

Mr. Eldridge gave several lots to those who would erect shops or stores 
thereon, not a few of which liberal oii'ers were accepted. 

On May 8, 1874, the town had attained a population of 514 inhabitants, 
and was incorporated. Since then the population has increased to nearly 
900. In 1856, Mr. James G. Reed located at the school house, about a mile 
east of the village. Here he commenced work as a blacksmith. Shortly 
after, he removed his shop to Roseville, where he added to his small shop a 
room about sixteen by twenty-four feet. 

He soon purchased an engine to aid him in his rapidly growing trade, 
and increased the number of his employes. About a year ago the present 
firm was organized, and a still further increase in the buildings and machin- 
ery made. Their speciality is windmills, plows and tongueless cultivators. 
Quite a number of shops are maintained, good stores, one bank and an 
excellent flouring mill.

THE SCHOOLS. 

The earliest attempts to educate the youth of this community was made 
in a small log school house, about one mile south of tlie site of the village. 
The frame school house east of town was next built. At its location there 
was a shop and small store, and the residents entertained some hopes of 
securing a town here. School .was maintained here until a few years ago, 
when it was removed to town and the present edifice constructed. It is a 
two story building, capable of accommodating two hundred scholars ; 156 
are now in attendance. Three teachers are employed. 

THE CHUECHES. 

The Oongregationalist Church was organized November 15, 1851, by 
President Blanchard, then of Galesburg. and consisted of eleven members, 
whose names were Stephen and Phoebe Delley, William and Mary Delley, 
David and Elizabeth Tuttle, Mrs. Elizabeth Axtell, and Miss Eunice Rob- 
inson. Four years after the organization they erected the present church 
building, at an expense of $3,000 dollars. The lumber was brought from 
Oquawka. Some time after, they erected the parsonage, worth $2,000. Eev. 
Asa Martin commenced his labors here, at a salary of $120 per year, in 
1851, and remained one year. He was succeeded by Rev. J. A. Rodgers, 
the first installed j)astor, who remained until 1858. He is now president of 
Berean College, Kentucky. Rev. A. R. Mitchell was called to succeed him, 
and occupied the pulpit until 1861. He was followed by Rev, Alfred Morse, 
who remained three years and was succeeded by Rev. Cyrus H. Eaton, from 
1864 to 1867. Then Rev. Arthur E. Arnold filled the pulpit until 1868. 
From that date until the early part of 1877 the pulpit was ocoui^ied by 
Rev. J. D. Wykoft". The present pastor, Rev. R. A. Wood, has just lately 
been installed. 

The membership is now 100, the attendance at Sunday-school 75. 

The Baptist Church was organized in 1852 by Rev. S. G. Miner. It 
now numbers 175 members and 100 Sunday-school scholars. The organ- 
ization was perfected in a school house, about one mile east of the present 
site of the town, with about 25 members. When the school house was 
erected in town, they used it for divine worship until they erected their 
present church. It cost about $2,000 dollars. 

The following have been some of the pastors of this church : Elders 

Joseph Elliott, Morse and J. D. Kent. The present pastor is E. C. 

Cady. 

The Methodist Episcopal Church is the outgrowth of a class of some 
half dozen members organized in 1839, who were Solomon Sovereign and 
wife, John Jared, Sr. and wife, Mrs. Sisson, Mrs. Welty, Mrs. Kii-kpatrick. 
They held their first meetings in Jared's school house, about three miles 
southeast of Rose\-ille. In the fall of 1841, and until the spring of 1842, 
the meetings were held in Josiali Kirkpatrick's house, about two and a talf 
miles south of Roseville. They were then held at Solomon Sovereign's 
house, now used for a hotel by Eli Gilbert, opposite the depot. The meet- 
ino's were held in this house until the first school house was bviilt. This 
served as a sanctuary until the present church and parsonage were built in 
1867, at a cost of $5,500. This class, in its infancy, formed one of the ap- 
pointments on the Aquawka circuit, which included all of what is now 



HISTOBT OP WAItEEN COTTNTY. 163 

Henderson and "Warren counties. Monmoutli, Kirkwood and other places of 
importance now were appointed on the circuit. Among the first ministers 
who broke the bread of life were the venerable Henry Sumners, W. M. Clark, 
Richard Haney, William Haney and Benjamin Applebee. These men are 
all yet living and are members of the Central Illinois Conference. Though 
all are on the superannuated list except R. Haney and B. Applebee. J.Kern 
was appointed pastor in 1856, W. J. Beck in 1867, A. C. Higgins in 1868, 
W. B. Morse in 1859, R. Morey in 1860 and '1, B. C. Swarts in 1862 and 
'3, J. A. Windsor in 186-1, G. C. Woodruff in 1865, W. B. Carithers in 1866, 
Thomas Watson in 1867 and '8, J. W. Coe in 1869 and '70, R. Beeler in 
1871, C. B. Conch in 1872 and '73, J. W. Coe in 1871 and '5. J. S. Cum- 
mings is the present very efficient presiding elder on the district, and N". 
T. Allen the present energetic pastor under whose labors the past winter 
seventy-five members have been added to the church, making the present 
membership one hundi'ed and seventy-seven, with a Sabbath school of one 
hundred scholars. 

The Christian Church was organized in 1859, or 1860, with about 
25 members. Thei-e are now more than double that number, and a Sunday- 
school of nearly 50 scholars. In 1871 they erected a comfoi-table church, 
costing about $1,500. Their parsonage is worth about $800. The Rev. 
George L. IJrackan is tlie present pastor. 

The Lutheran Church, composed most!}' of Swedes, comprises a mem- 
bership of 36. They were organized into a body ecclesiastic February 26, 
1876, with 26 members, and on October 29, following, dedicated their 
present house of worship. Rev. (x. Wiberg occupies the pulpit, minister- 
ing part of his time in other places. The Sunday-school numbers about 
25 scholars. 

The Union Baptist Church was organized in 1841 or '5 in an old 
school house. It was used for some time for both purposes, and in it tlie 
first township meetings were held. 

The members had belonged to the Berwick Church and organized 
here, this being a more central location. 

Tliey have now a very comfortable church and sustain a regular meeting. 
Talbott's Creek Christian Church was organized about 1838-9, and for 
some time included the Cameron and Alexis members. 

Joseph Murphy and L. S. Wallace were among the first elders. John 
E. Murphy, Thos. Wallace, Wm. Wallace, Wm. Murphy and Wm. Hop- 
per, with their families, were among the constituent members. John E. 
Murphy was the pioneer preacher among them. Thos. Griffith and Henry 
Bruner, father of the present pastor of Monmouth Church, were also 
early members. Their present church was erected near David Warren, an 
old member, and one who helped the church in its early trials. Tliey occu- 
pied this building until 1855 or '6, when a house of worship was erected at 
an expense of $2,000, which they still occupy. They have a membership 
of about one hundred, and sustain a Sunday school of about the same num- 
ber. Rev. D. D. Miller, pastor at Cameron, preaches here. This congre- 
gation has sent out several colonies, which are now large and growing 
churches. 

The PitEss. — Two weekly papers are sustained here. Wilson's Weekly, 
the younger, was started about eight months since by the Wilson brothers, 
two quite young men, and is already enjoying a good circulation. It is a 
good local paper, and a very creditable enterprise.

KIRKWOOD 

Is pleasantly located on the C, B. & Q. R. R. twenty-one miles east 
from Burlington, la. In the year 1836 five families had located in this 
township, as follows : Samuel Hanna, Z. M. Davis, James Gibson, R. 
Tinkham, Benjamin Tompkins, after whom the township was named. Prior 
to the building of the railroad through this county, settlement was slowly 
made in this region, but on the completion of the road, in 1855, new life 
was infused and business sprang up as if by magic. In the year 1854 Da- 
vid Irvine laid out the original village of Kirkwood to which two additions 
have been made, called Quinby's additions. 

For many years a brisk trade has been carried on here, especially in 
grain, which has hardly been surpassed by any town on any railroad lead- 
ing to Chicago. The village was incorporated in 1865, and the following 
were the first Trustees : O. Lanphere, J. L. Batcheler, J. K. Cummings, 
A. Carmichael and J. B. Sofield. The present board is, T. F. Lowther, 
Geo. Kellogg, A. C. Yan Riper, L. Rapalee, Wm. McCoy, W. K. and J". H. 
Gilmore, Clerk. 

BUSINESS INTERESTS. 

The first store here was opened by Knowles, Ray & Chapin in 1855. 
The First National Bank is one of the solid institutions of this county, and

is ably managed by Dr. Henry Tubbs, President, and Willard C. Tubbs, 
Cashier. Chapin, Houlton & ""Davis have a large private banking business; 
also an extensive mercantile trade. There are at the present time live gen- 
eral stores, four grocery houses, four drug stores, two hardware stores and 
ao-ricultural implements, two boot and shoe stores, two bakeries, one book- 
store and news room, one jeweler, two blacksmith shops, two shoe shops, 
two wagon shops, one lumber yard and two elevators. 



The graded schools of this village are the just pride of all her people. 
There are two neat and commodious school houses — six rooms — in which 
schools are maintained nine months of the year. The number of children 
enumerated by the census of 1876 is 482 in the village and in the town- 
ship 975. 

CHUECHES. 

The Pi-esbyterian Church of Kirkwood was organized in 1856, and 
was first called South Henderson Church. Meetings were first held in a 
school house about two miles southwest of town. A committee had been 
appointed by Schuyler Presbytery to assist in the formation of the church. 
This committee was Rev. J. H. Nevins, E. C. Matthews. D. D., and Elders 
Hiram ISTorcross and James Boggs. At the organization there were 
twenty-six members, " of whom many have fallen to sleep, but a few re- 
main unto this day." Tlie first elders were Jacob Ackerman, Alex. M. 
Hervey and ISTathan Carr. Of these. Fathers Carr and Ackerman yet live, 
having more than fulfilled their four score years. The first stated preach- 
ing was by Rev. J. H. jSTevins for one year. Then Rev. W. L. Lyons for 
three and a half years. From July, 1863, to April, 1865, was a vacancy, 
with occasional preaching by Dr. J. M. Jamison and others. At this lat- 
ter date Rev. J. W. Ash began his labors here, and was the regular supply for 
two years. Then Rev. J. W. Allen was here for two years, and during his 
administration a new and commodious church was built, 40 by 65 feet, and 
cost $11,000. In 1870 Rev. G. N. Johnson supplied for six months. Then 
Rev. J. k\. Marshall was stated supply for two and a half years. The pres- 
ent minister. Rev. E. "W. Thompson, is the only installed pastor the church 
has ever had. He began his labors here in 1874. The first house of wor- 
ship built by this Church was a small frame structure, 20 by 30 feet, in the 
south part of town, in 1858. For two or three years it was occupied by 
the M. E. congregation on alternate Sabbaths. This was afterwards sold to 
the Roman Catholics and moved ofl" the lot. In 186S the present church 
was erected, and is an elegant gothic structure. It was thoroughly refitted 
in 1875. The present membership is 125. An interesting Sabbath school is 
maintained throughout the year, with an attendance ot 125. E. P. Clau- 
son is superintendent. The church is in a prosperous condition. 

The United Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood, 111., was organized in 
1858 at Center Grove school house with about eighteen members, among 
whom were 'David Irvine and wife. Dr. J. Biddle and wife, John Woods 
and wife and I. H. Martin and wife. The meetings were first held at the 
above named school house, also at Mr. Edward Wray's hall. Their church 
was built in 1863 at a cost of $2,800. The pastors who have served at this 
church are Rev. I. B. Foster three years. Rev. W. J. McSurely two years,

members and forty Sabbath school scholars. 

The Universalist Church was organized in 1860 at Rap's Hall. Thir- 
teen members were received, among whom were N. A. Cliapin and Geo. 
Williams. For some time services were held at Rap's Hall, where they re- 
mained until the completion of their church, which was dedicated in 1866, 
its cost being $1,000. The church was rebuilt in 1869 at\an additional 
cost of $3,000. Rev. C. L. Walsh preached two years. Rev. A. Clayton one 
year. Rev. A. Tibbitts two years. Rev. Hibbard eighteen months, L. H. Ta- 
bor three years. The present number of members thirty, with the same 
number of Sabbath school scholars. 

The M. E. Church was organized in 1856 at the Young America Ho- 
tel. The first sermon was preached by Rev. O. Swartz January 5th, 1856,

DEN^NY. 

This is one of the earliest settled locations in this county. L. P. Rock- 
well and Jonathan Buffiin came here on a prospecting tour in 1830 from 
Ashtabula county, Ohio, and found Adam Ritchie located in a small block 
house on the hill. This had been built by Ritchie in the previous year. 



HISTOET OF WAEREN COCTTY. 167 

Rockwell and Buffun bought his claim of 160 acres, having upon it a 
mill site on Cedar Ci-eek. They remained here during the winter of 1830 
and '31, and engaged in building a saw-mill, the first in the county. 

They returned in the fall to Ohio, and in April, 1832, they set sail with 
their families and some others on a raff down the Ohio river. They start- 
ed from Warren county. Pa., and were four weeks on the raft in reaching 
Cincinnati. Here, after much delaj', they took passage on a steamboat for 
St. Louis, and on arriving there found the same boat was going to Beards- 
town, and so continued their journey lo this point. From this latter place 
they went by ox teams to Canton, and then to their new homes on Cedar 
Creek. They added another block house near the first and built a stockade for 
fort. The nearest mill or postoffice was about seventy miles distant. Soon, 
however, the postoffice was established at this point and was first called 
Cedar Creek Postoffice, and in 1851 the name was changed to Denny at 
"Washington. In the spring of 1832 Kockwell and Bufiun rented their 
saw-mill to Chester Potter, who was also from Ashtabula county, Ohio. He 
added a small pair of burrs for grinding wheat and corn. These mill- 
stones were only twelve and a half inches in diameter, but did the grinding 
for a large scope of country. Tney were made by Potter from a Granite 
Boulder or " Nigger-head" found on the prairie in this county. Potter, 
however, continued here only one year, when he moved to Kelly Tp. and 
set up a mill for himself on Henderson Creek. BufFun sold out his inter- 
est to Rockwell September 21st, 1832, and went to Fulton county, after- 
wards to Rock Island. On the 8th of August, 1S35, L. P. Rockwell and D. 
G. Baldwin entered into agreement to build a large flouring mill, which re- 
sulted in the erection of the present Rockwell Mills. The first P. M. here 
was J. Buifun, one year ; then L. P. Rockwell for about twenty years. He 
died in 1860. The first school was in 1834 — teacher. Miss Betsy Hopper. 
There is not a more pleasant location in this county than Denny. 



LITTLE YORK. 

This vicinity was first settled in 1829, and was among the earliest in 
this county. 

Among those who first came here were : Matthew D. Ritchie, Otho 
W. Craig, William McCoy, Hugh Martin, Sr., and others. Much fear 
and some trouble was experienced from the Indians by the early settlers. 
A roving band of those desperadoes were skulking along the timber on Cedar 
Creek, on the 9th day of August, 1832, when five of their number rushed 
out, shot and scalped William Martin, who was at work alone putting up 
hay. A block house had been built as a kind of fort, where persons and 
families resorted in time of supposed danger. Several women and children 
were at the fort at this time, and heard the shots, saw Martin fall, and the 
Indians run to him, shoot again, and scalp him. The news spread rapidly, 
and caused great alarm among the inhabitants. Martin had been at the 
fort but a short time previous, was cautioned by the women about working 
alone, though it was not known that any Indians were in the vicinity. He 
returned to his work singing a favorite tune. 

The block house stood a few rods east from where now stands the pleasant 
residence of Hugh Martin, brother of William, and he was killed about 
eighty miles north. His body was not recovered until the next morning, 



168 HISTORY OP WAEEEN COtTNTT. 

and when examined, it was found that the last shot was made so near as to 
burn his clothing. 

A company of Eangers followed the trail of the Indians as far as New 
Boston, where they were just in time to see them in their canoes, nearly 
across the Mississippi river. They fired upon them, but did not avail to 
stop theii\. 

An account of the trial of these murderers is given in another part of 
this work. -i/^ „ 

The village of Little >Reclc was laid out in 1835 by William McCoy and 
M. D. liitchie. James Kendall opened the first store in this vicinity, at 
the block house in 1833, and after his death, in the next year, his widow 
moved the goods to a building on the site of the village, and continued in 
the trade. This she sold to Arthur McFarland, who soon sold to J. F. Pol- 
lock, and he had a prosperous trade there for many years. He was the 
first P. M. for nearly twenty years. The first school was in 1837, taught by 
Peter Turpening. At the present time there is a good school house and a 
good bell, with pleasant grounds ornamented with trees. 

The principal merchants are Messrs. Wallace & Morrison, general 
merchandise. There are two harness shops, three blacksmith shops, one 
wagon shop, and a boot and shoe shop. 

This village is located in a thriving and industrious farming commun- 
ity, and is in Sumner Township, twelve miles northwest from Monmouth, 

The U. P. Church of Little Tork was organized April 19th, 1863, by 
Kev. John Scott, D. D., of the Presbyter}^ of Monmouth. At the formation 
of this church there were forty-one members from the U. P. churches of 
Cedar Creek and Henderson. The first pastor was Rev. Wm. H. McMillan, 
ordained and installed Oct. 4, 1864, who continued his labors for six years. 
The next pastor was Rev. W. T. Campbell, ordained and installed June 13, 
1871, and continued four years. The present pastor is Rev. David Ander- 
son, who began his work here in October, 1875. This congregation own a 
pleasant and commodious house of worship, which cost $4,000, and a con- 
venient parsonage, recently built at a cost of $2,000. The present number 
of members is 130. 

ALEXIS 

This village, though bearing the same name as the royal prince, is not a 
Russian Town. It was first called Alexandria and recently abbreviated to 
its present name for convenience. It is situated twelve miles north and 
east from Monmouth, and was laid out in Nov., 1870, by Robert Holloway 
and J. E. Alexander upon land owned by them. The first housa was moved 
to the Town site Nov. 20, 1870, and upon the first train North on tlie Rodi- 
ford. Rock Island and St. Louis R. R., J. E. Alexander moved his goods, 
and established the station. He has held the office of Station and Express 
Agent since the opening of the Raih'oad. The books of the Co. show that 
from this point there has been shipped 500 cars of stock in a year, and, some- 
times 140 cars of grain per month. The growth of the town has been rapid, 
and although a sweeping fire in Jan., 1877, destroyed nine business houses, 
new buildings are rising to take their place, showing the confidence there is 
in the stability of the town. 

There are four general stores, five groceries, two drug stores, two hard- 
ware and agricultural implements, one book and stationery store, two black- 



HISTORY OF "WAKEEN COUNTY. 169 

smith shops, one flouring mill, one machine shop, two liimbei- yards and two 
hotels. 

A fine two story school house was built in 1S74, cost $2,600, and the 
schools are well graded, Superintendent, C. Galloway. The number of 
children by examination of Sept., 1876, was 384. 

The first village Trustees came into office July 28, 1873, and their names 
are as follows: John C. Blaney, Prest.; A G. Talbot, O. E. Bugbee, 0. G. 
Chapman, James Loveridge, Daniel Churchill; John Douglas, Clerk, Chas. 
E. Johnson, Treasurer. — The present Board is Peter Bogue, Prest. ; Daniel 
Churchill, Hiram Ingersoll, James H.Shaw, Eobert Knox, W. W. Graham; 
Thos. B. Patterson, Clerk; Chas. E. Johnson Treas., and W. H. Brown 
Police Magistrate. The total population is about 700. 



Mr. James Everett started the Alexis Journal ?Lt this place in 1871:. 
He had originally intended to make it an eight column, four page paper : 
but from some cause cut it down to seven columns, four pages, in which 
form the first number appeared, on February 13, 1871, and was continued 
until the close of volume three, in 1877. Mr. Everett retired from its man- 
agement in August, 1876, having sold the office to Dr. Chaifee. At the 
close of volume three, the prospect of its future seemed very gloomy, and 
it was decided to discontinue its publication. A few weeks later, having 
received sufficient encouragement, the Dr. concluded to resume, but decided 
to make a change in the name and style of the paper; accordingly the name 
was changed to^ The Ale.vis Index, and the size of the sheet enlarged to a 
five column, eight pages, a change which the j)roprietor feels assured was 
fully warranted, and is duly appreciated by the people. Its circulation and 
influence is steadily increasing, althougli its local advertising patronage has 
been materially ciit down by the recent fire, and stringency of the times; 
still, the office is doing a fair business, remunerative to its owner, and much 
of its loss of local advertising is compensated for by its Monmouth patron- 
age.

niimber of members is about seventy. This congregation own a large hosue 
of worship costing about $4,000 and a 2:ood parsonage with three acres of 
ground. 

Tlie Cliureh of God is located in southeast quarter of Sec. 10, Spring 
Grove township. It was organized in 1865 by Kev. Rudolph "White, and 
the earliest meetings were held in the school house in district No. 4. 
Among the original members were Jehu Bailey and wife. D. C. Swiller, 
wife and three children, John Cannon and wife, and others. The church 
was built in 1867 and cost $1,600. The present pastor is Eev. Thos. De- 
Shiria. Membership about twenty-five and Sabbath school the same ; John 
Simcox, Superintendent. 

LENOX 

Was laid out by C. C. Dixon in 1872, who owned the farm on which the 
village is platted. He had settled here in 1834, at a time when there was 
but one house between his and Monmouth, then containing but four or five 
houses. 

No village was thought of until the Eockford, Eock Island and St. Louis 
railroad was contemplated. The company guaranteed the location of a 
depot to some ten or twelve residents who were active in securing the right 
of way through the township. Foremost among them was C. C. Dixon and 
J. W. Bridenthal. These located the station on the present site and Mr. 
Dixon at once took steps to lay out the town. The village plat and farm 
were afterwards purchased by Mr. Bridenthal, the present owner. Mr. T. 
H. Norwood opened the first store and the post office in the dwelling 
of Henry Eedout. Shortly after John Hodgen and John Young 'erected the 
present store room occupied by Mr. Young and Graham. One or two ad- 
ditional stores have been opened and a good carriage and wagon shop is now 
in operation. 

A large quantity of grain is shipped from this point. For the year 1876 
331 car loads of grain were shipped. In addition to this, 70 car loads of 
live stock were sent to market. 

The town and post office were given the name of Lenox. As there was 
a Station North of Monmouth by that name. Until it was discontinued, 
the village and office was called Lenox Station. 



One of the oldest district schools in the township is located here. As 
soon as the school population of the community warranted the erection of 
a house, a small structure was built. This was used with an occasional en- 
largement and repair, until 187G, when the present structure, one of the 
best in the township, was erected. 

The attendance is now about forty scholars, which require the services 
of one teacher. 

CHUECHES. 

For several years past a Pi'esbyterian church was maintained. About 
twelve years since through the effort of Mr. Dixon, who donated a lot, a 
comtortable house of worship was erected, and at one time quite a congrega- 
tion had grown np, and regular preaching was sustained. Owing to re= 



172 HISTOET OF WAEEEN COUNTY. 

movals and other causes has so diminished the church that the organization 
was disbanded, the remaining members going to Monmouth or to other 
churches. The Methodists now occupy the church but as yet have no or- 
ganization. 

GEKLAW. 

This village has a pleasant location. It was laid out as a town site May 
2, 1871, on land owned by R. W. Gerlaw, after whom it bears its name. It 
is situated in the N. W. quarter of Section 34, Spring Grove township, and is 
on the Rockford, Eock Island E. E. six miles north from Monmouth. 

A. A. Elder opened the first store in Sept., 1871. James Webster some- 
time after, built a large store, with a fine hall in second story. A brisk trade 
has been carried on here, considering its nearness to the county seat. The 
books of the E. E. Co. show that the shipment of stock has reached more 
than 200 cars in a single year. Very little grain is shipped from this point, 
as all is needed by feeders of stock. 

The Christian church was organized in 1858, by Rev. L. S. Wallace, 
and a house of worship was built about about two miles north east from the 
town at a cost of $950. This building was moved to the town site in 1874, 
and was thoroughly repaired. Among the first members were J. T. Gilmore 
and wife, E. W. Lair and wife, B. F. Gardner and wife and others. The 
present membership is about forty. No pastor. 



CAMEEON 

Was laid oat by Robert Camei'on, Feb. 22, 1854, and was for some time 
known as Cameronville. His plat included the south west part of the town 
lying south of the railroad. Charles Waste laid out a portion directly east 
of this, and north and west of this, across the railroad in Ooldbrook town- 
ship. Quinbj^'s addition was soon after made. 

A. B. Hawkins was the first merchant in town. His store stood directly 
east of Isaac Wilson's shop in a now vacant lot. 

Owen C. Waste and Smith & Skinner of Galesburg opened stores 
soon after, and for some time a fine trade was engaged. Mr. Hawkins had 
previously kept a store in Coldbrook, but as soon as the C. B. & Q. E. E. 
was completed and Cameron platted he removed his store and goods to that 
jilace. Nearly all the business of Cold Brook was brought to Cameron at 
this and latter dates. 

The town has always been small, but a good trade is steadily maintained. 
A good number of stores and shops are now in successful operation, and 
enjoying a good patronage. 



The first district school house was built soufh of the railroad, and was 
the first house erected on the village plat. There being two districts,' (the 
railroad being the dividing line between the township of Cold Brook and 
Floyd,) in 1871, these were consolidated into one, and the present two story 
building erected. 

It will accommodate 100 pupils, the attendance being now eighty -five.

HISTORY OF WAEEEN COUNTY. 175^ 

CHEISTIAK CHUECH. 

This is the oldest congregation of this denomination. It was organized 
in 1831. Their earliest meetings were held in private houses and in the 
school house. At this time they were at Cold Brook. 

Some of their Elders were John G. Haley, Elijah Davidson and Wm. 
Whitman. Levi Hatchett, John E. Murphy and L. S. Wallace were some of 
the earliest ministers. 

A house of worship was built in ColdBrookin 1839. The congregation 
continued to meet here until 185i or '5 when they removed to Cameron and 
there erected their present church, costing about $3,000. A portion of the 
congregation went near the present town of Alexis, where they have now a 
strong church. 'About 1851 or '2 Elder !R. K. Haley and Deacon John E. 
Murphey, with some thirty members went to Monmouth, Oregon, where 
they formed the nucleus of a large and flourishing congregation. Josiah 
Whitman, S. T. Sheton and Henry E. Haley were chosen to fill the ofiices 
made vacant by those removing to Oregon. 

The Cameron congregation have now aboat V25 members and sustain a 
Sunday school of 70 scholars. Eev. D. D. Miller is the present pastor. 

THE M. B. CHUECH. 

In the fall of 1856, ministers of this denomination commenced services 
iu the school house, and soon thereafter organized the church. 

Some twelve or fifteen persons united. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. 
Watt, Mr. and Mrs. Porterfield, Frank Morey, Benj. Tinkham, Mrs. Fox, 
Mrs. Gay and Mary Gay. Rev. Fisher presided at the organization. 

In 1857, they erected their present church edifice, which is now in- 
adequate to the wants of the congregation and will soon be replaced by a 
a commodious house. 

The growth of the congregation has been slow, and at no time has the 
membership been large. The number now is about forty. 

The First Baptist Church at this place was organized June 30th, 1866, 
and its first meetings were held in the district school house with an origi- 
nal membership of nine persons, which has increased to sixty-five, and a 
Sunday school of sixty. 

The present church was built in 1869 at a cost of $3,200. The pastors 
have been the Revs. Wm. Whitehead, Jno. Bolton, W. R. Welch, E. L. 
Corfield and J. R. Pennington. Their present pastor is Rev G. D. Kent. 

SWAN" CREEK. 

The settlement in this locality dates back to about 1837. A post-office 
has been maintained here since that date. 

As soon as the railroad was completed, steps were taken to establish a 
depot here, but although the company would stop their trains, they would 
not build a switch or erect the necessary buildings until the residents had 
raised $1,000. This was secured mainly through the efforts of Mr. George 
Worden, one of the earliest residents and who had keep a store since Decem- 
ber, 1856, in a building opposite his dwelling. It is now used as a dwelling 
and harness shop. Mr. Worden laid out the town April 15, 1871, and soon 



176 HISTOET OF WABEEN COUNTY. 

after Eev. W. C. Eornine opened a store. He is now in Eoseville. B. 
Kagin and Aaron Burr, opened stores about this time and have steadily up- 
held their trade. There are now three or four good stores, the same number 
of shops, a good mill and elevator. 

A large amount of shipping is done from this point. Before the com- 
pletion of the railroad in 1870, this was taken to Oquawka and to Prairie 
City,where nearly all trading at this time was done. 

Now the produce is shipped to Chicago and St. Louis. 



A good school has always been held here. In 1876, a large comfortable 
house was erected, which is a credit to the town. About fifty scholars are 
daily in attendance. 



The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1872 and '3. The 
earliest meetings were held in the school house, a little north of the vil- 
lage. Those who took part in these meetings were Austin A. Cornell, An- 
drew J. Sisson, Nancy J. Sisson, Eufus K. Sisson, Mary E. Sisson, Bur- 
well Booth, Anna M. Phillips. These had been members of the M. E. 
Church at Pleasant Mound, six miles southeast of Swan Creek, except Bur- 
well Booth who had been a member of the M. E. Church at Point Pleas- 
ant. In 1873 a church was built at a cost of $2,000. Pev. C. B. Conch 
served from 1872 till September, 1874. He was followed by Pev. J. W. 
Coe, who served till September, 1876. Their present piastor. Rev. N. T. 
Allen, was appointed September, 1876. Twenty-six members have been 
added to the church the past winter, the result of a revival under the leader- 
ship of the present pastor and the earnest eiforts of the members. There 
are now sixty-one members and a thriving Sabbath school of eighty schol- 



TOUNGSTOWN. 

"Was laid out by the Kidder family and others in the spring of 1872. 

The first store was opened by H. Y. Simmons in a building erected by 
0. W. Mapes. The building is now occupied by Wm. Miner. One or two 
other stores have since been erected. One or two shops are now in operation. 

The town plat was, until 1872, the farm of the Kidder family, and when 
the plat was surveyed and a station established, before one was allowed at 
Swan Creek, as the railroad company objected to two depots so closely to- 
gether. This latter objection was, however, overruled by the energy of the 
citizens along the line. 

Toungstown supports a good local trade, and is the shipping point for 
all farm produce from this locality. 



Schools has been held in the district school house many years. An effort 
is now being made to add an additional room and grade the school. This 
will promptly be carried out in a year or so.

The companies from Forts Henry and Heiman subsequently rejoined the regiment, and it remained at Fort 
Donelson until Sept. 20, 1863, when the right wing moved to Clark^viUe. The regiment had heavy guard duty to

from 1:30 p. m. until 8:30 p. m. when the enemy were compelled to retire with a loss uf eight hundred killed and 
wounded. The loss ol the Regiment was 13 killed and 51 wounded. Colonel Harding was promoted to Brigadier 
General for gallant conduct en this occasion and Lieutenant Colonel A. A. Smith to Colonel. While at Clarklville, 
the Regiment was engaged in several expeditions under Major General L. H. Rosseau.^in pursuit of Forrest and
